I'm not frustrated with YOU. I'm frustrated on your behalf, if that makes any sense. As a friend, I just want you to feel better.
I did have a doctor diagnose me with IBS, yep. I have never seen a GI doc for this, though. I fail to see the necessity of it, if my GP is perfectly able to order tests and make a diagnosis... and is a wonderful, lovely person with no chip on her shoulder on top of that. I could seriously just beat the snot out of all those doctors you've seen. There is NO EXCUSE for a medical professional to treat a patient with so little respect, and these clowns shouldn't even be practicing. He was in a bad mood?! Give me a f**king break.
I wish I had the patience to go through med school. Can you imagine what a kick@$$ GI doc I'd make? Hah!
Do I ever wonder if it's something other than IBS? Sometimes. I mean, like I said, the combined total of the diet, lexapro, imodium, and activity STILL haven't given me stability. I've been D for the past week, every single day, and it frustrates the hell out of me. I can guess that the problem is likely my gallbladder, since I already know I have problems with it & have been living with THOSE for 10 years already, so I don't feel like I'm a medical mystery or anything. I think I've reached an understanding that I will just never feel entirely well.
Someday, you'll have to explain GF to me. I mean, things you can't eat because of the gluten, especially. I don't understand luna bars at all. To my understanding, they're basically soy and sugar. I can be a little dense sometimes. 
Ok... the rest will wait, as I eagerly await your email. I'm sorry I didn't reply to the first one - I was waiting for the second one! But don't feel pressured by my silliness. I'll reply tomorrow.
Sleep well!
