Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Still Hurting, still wondering, still scared

I have been reading so much about IBS, Colitis, and Crohn's. I have been also remembering just how long this has been going on with my body. I am about to break down and go to a doctor soon. This is driving me out of my mind and I don't think I can take much more. But there is still a little part of me that says it is just a stomach bug. Even though I have had this almost my whole life. Maybe I don't want to know what it is? I just know I am exhausted and want my life back. It has been so bad the past month. Worse than ever. I don't want to eat so I won't get sick. I am weak and tired all of the time.

I have through my reading (thanks Heather) discovered that when I did eat I ate all the wrong things. Greasy, fatty, foods. Artificial sweeteners (daily), diet coke, chocolate. I have cut down from 6-10 diet cokes a day to 0-1. Yeah! I didn't think I could do it but I did. And no more chocolate for the past two weeks.

I also live in Florida and it is very HUMID. I also went from a nice peaceful life to a high stress one because of many changes in my home. I am really trying to chill out and eat right.

This site is so informative. I really appreciate it and check it often. Thank you all for sharing....

God Bless,
Tina
