As I said earlier, I can't hear what my body is saying. It just says "I hurt, help me".

I'm glad this diet and acacia has helped you. And I wasn't aware that you were reading my posts. Sorry if I dampen your spirits. I actually asked Casey if maybe I should stop posting because I am always so "desparate" and bringing people down and not a very good representative for the Eating for IBS diet! Was afraid I could actually get evicted.

Have you been officially diagnosed with IBS or did you just assume because of your symptoms?

Any suggestions on how to find a doctor who will listen to me? I had an appointment with my GI doc today and he was so crabby and frustrated. He told me how upset he was with me and I just started crying in his office. I don't think I should be afraid to ask him questions. And after 5 years of writing IBS in my chart all of a sudden he tells me he doesn't think I have IBS, but doesn't give any advice on what to take or eat or do to help whatever I do have.
UGH! I know he cares about me. He has given me free meds, did an endoscopy on me for free because I had no insurance, never charges me for appointments, but he isn't helping me either. I don't want to hurt his feelings by going to another doctor. The one who was recommended happens to be right across the reception desk from him!

Oh I gave you more info than you wanted. Guess I'm just rambling. But thank you for your prayers Angela. That means a lot. I hope you don't think you have wasted your time answering my posts. BTW, what exactly do you do to manage your symptoms now?
