Reged: 10/14/04 Posts: 2518 Loc: Michigan Beth- I don't want you to stop posting your feelings and frustrations because that is what this place is all about! I have been diagnosed with IBS after I had a colonoscopy done in October. The doctor wasn't all that supportive because all he told me was that I have IBS and eat more fiber. He then gave me Elavil? which is an anit-depressant. Which later I found out is not good for IBS-C!!! SO I took matters into my own hands, did some searching on the web and found this place. I quit cold turkey of everything I was eating bad and totally stuck to the diet for almost 2 months. Since then I have been pretty stable with only a few minor setbacks. I am more lucky in the sense that I can cheat now and then and not suffer to bad. I honestly only take Acacia at night. I drink a glass of water around 8pm with 1 1/2 tablespoons of it in there. Then I take 2 stool softners and my vitamin as well. I do eat veggies during the day. This routine works for me as I have a BM every morning around 7-9am. Sometimes I have mornings that aren't great and then I am extra carfful through the day. Beth honey hang in there and maybe even though your doctor is really nice find a second opinion. And as Casey has said this is a syndrome and there will be good and bad days. Allow yourself a good pity party and then try to go on with your life as much as you can.
