Re: Hi, im a newbie and I dont know if I belong here!!!!       04/19/05 09:06 AM Edit Reply Quote mindyj Reged: 05/14/04 Posts: 494 Loc: Northern Virginia It does sound like you have been pretty thorough in seeking opinions from competant doctors, so I really don't see any reason for you to doubt the IBS diagnosis - and really, while IBS is certainly a really big bummer, it is better than some horrible chronic liver condition - right? Have you tried to work with you diet? If you havn't, I think you should try following Heather's diet, start taking a soluable fiber supplement, start some yoga, or some other activity that will help with your stress level, and see what happens. It will take time, regardless, but it certainly couldn't hurt and could be very helpful in the long run. On the location of the pain, my doctor has told me that the nerves in the digestive tract are actually not very reliable and its not a good indicator for exact diagnosis. Here's an example: I have crohn's and because of that I often have pains in my lower right quadrent of my abodmen (actually I have them right now - how fun) but the doctor can only tell the pain has to do with Crohn's after lots of tests and other diagnostics. Someone else could come in with pain in the same spot and the doctor would ask lots of questions and do lots of tests to determine other more specific indicators before making any sort of guesses as to what is causing the pain in that certain spot. So don't get too worried about the location of your pain corresponding with someone elses if other symptoms are not also corresponding. I'm glad you found the website and that you have the book. Good luck with the diet and let us know how it goes. We're happy to answer your questions allong the way as well. Min Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
