I am passing 6 weeks of trouble with IBS after being fine for weeks this summer. My diet is great (I could add more cooked insolubles veggies and fruits) and I exercise and drink tea and everything right. I have before this thought it was stress because of my sister's stupidity and shotgun wedding and now that stopped bothering me and maybe I would have come around when I got hit with more and worse family stress. Sunday it all hit and I felt ok that day and yesterday I was average (actually was pooping like normal again) but today I am in MAJOR pain and had to go home from work. It hurts so much that I can't nap and I just have to keep my mind off of it. Pain like this is something I really havent had much of unless it was pain and discomfort from bloating which this isn't. I made some strong tea and I think I am going to get digestive enzymes and make a dr. appt to talk about meds. I was on levbid and bentyl years ago but it didn't do much, now though I guess my symptoms have changed. Any advice on what I should do? (btw the family problems are not in my home- DH and I get along very well)
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
