With inspiration from you guys, I finally went to a doctor about my IBS for the first time in 10 years. She was great, and agreed that it was indeed probably IBS like I thought (and not just lactose intollerence like the first doc said ), but I still get to have the battery of tests done.
The blood work came back normal, and tomorrow I get to have a lovely barium enema! Boy I'm excited (dripping sarcasm) . Please someone tell me that I'm not going to end up rocking in some corner the rest of the day! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif)
I'm in the prep stages today. I'm drinking juice because it's clear and high in calories. But now I definitely don't have any doubts that fructose on an empty stomach is not a good thing. The *real* cleasing starts in about an hour, so wish me luck!
One good thing out of this: I figured since my digestion would be screwed anyway, why be good? So I had BBQ brisquet last night and I've been drinking Dr.Pepper all day! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif)
Wish me luck, Myra
