I knew I had "nervous stomach" quite a few years ago, and as my anxiety has progressed, so has the stomach! Finally, about 4 months ago I had a stomach bug which made my symptoms worse, have been to the doctor about 4 times, who was completely useless, told me to "eat more fibre", which to me meant bran etc...! Useless! Told me he'd be angry if he sends me to a gastroenteroligist (however you spell it) if I was losing weight because I just wasn't eating enough which was really thoughtful - not! And that I just need to get over it! I told him I had IBS and he agreed with me?? Gave me a celiac test and bloodwork which all came back ok, except white blood cell count was low, due to viruses. But...after finding this web site and following the diet I have been much more stable!! So have kinda given up looking for other reasons - IBS seems the obvious choice!!
