For over 2 yrs I ve suffered. Back in Feb and March of 03 I was so sick I thought I was gonna die, couldnt eat a thing a dropped to 104. Been to a "few" docs (In Canada) before moving to the USA. Was told over and over, you have IBS live with it, change diet etc.
Well, here it is May 05 and I am now in NC. Called up a gastro doc in the yellow pages, BOOM a week later I was in to see him. he was very upset that I had what he called "The label" stamped on my forhead saying IBS. Yes we all know it is a group of symtoms, and yes some of us DO have IBS. Yesterday for the FIRST time ever, I had the upper endoscopy done. My MAJOR and #1 complaint all along was upper gas and bloating, with a small sometimes sharp pain right under the breasts in the middle.
I do have a Hiatal Hernia, and next week I am being tested for gall bladder.
Makes sense to me now  no wonder I started back drinking coffee and had no problems, could eat and drink things that those with IBS couldn't.
Anyways, I am so relieved to finally get a GOOD doctor and get some answers. He could not believe I had not even had any tests done besides a xray.
ok, I am done thanks for letting me share this with you. I will still be back often to share some awesome IBS safe recipes with ya'all. Besides if I don't pop in for a visit Kree will hunt me down at zaar and remind me lovingly that IBS board is alive and well.
