Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | pain and weight loss without trying

Hi, its been awhile since I was here. I have been in and out of the hospital. I really need help with this. I can't eat much at all and water upsets my tummy. I can lose up to 5 lbs in one week. When I'm in the hospital they run some tests and they come back normal. So I go there to get IV and pain meds. Its very hard on my kids (ages 14 and 9), the husband is getting better now, but still gets mad about all this. He wants someone/something to fix it, which can't be done. I already lost one job for being sick to much. I now only work 9 hours a week because of this, I keep my stress level down as much as I can. One doctor is trying to treat my pain with meds for slow stomach/colon but the meds made it worse so I had to stop them. I have both D and C IBS, which doesn't help with other medical problems with the stomach and fibro. I feel like a walking drug store too--I keep an updated list with me all the time (it help the ER doctors). Please let me know what I can do and what has worked for you.I don't know what to do anymore.
