I hope you don't have Crohn's, but if you do, I hope your mom doesn't think you won't have to modify your diet. Before I was diagnosed with IBS, I still was told to modify my diet for my Crohn's. It's not as restrictive, but you are encouraged to eat a low fat healthy diet. I was also told to cut out red meat, caffeine and watch my dairy intake. Fortunately for me, my Crohn's is a mild case and I am able to so far keep it under control with one medication. Even though IBS isn't considered a "disease," I find it much more difficult to manage. To tell you the truth, I've been having a lot more difficulty lately, and I was actually hoping it was my Crohn's. I know that sounds bad, but I also know there are other medications my doctor can give me for that, and there's nothing he can give me that's going to put my IBS in remission. But it's "just" my IBS, so I have to try and do my best to manage it. I'm sorry you don't have the support of your family right now and that you aren't in a position to make some choices on your own. I know you said you mom is also going through testing, so I hope for her benefit as well as yours she gets a little more education on these matters. Hope you feel better soon!
