Hi, folks! Thanks for all the responses so far! I really appreciate it! I'm sorry any of you had to go through the pain of a severe attack, but it helps me to know that others have had attacks as severe as mine. I was feeling like something of a hypochondriac, because it had never been so terrible, but after seeing your responses, I know I'm not the only one whose felt that way.
The ER people treated me well. I am totally blind, and was out to dinner with a group of blind friends when this occurred. No one could drive us to the hospital, and I was afraid to leave the restroom of IHOP for fear of losing control, on both ends, if you get my drift. So they called an ambulance. They gave me pain meds through an IV first, then once I reached the ER, they gave me anti-nausea medication, which worked like a charm. They decided to do a CT scan of my tummy, even though they knew of the IBS diagnosis, just to make sure it wasn't something else in this particular instance. Any of you ever had to drink that huge glass of orange "contrast," for the CT test? Anyway, the tests came back normal, as I figured they would.
OK, so if you guys cut out dairy from your diets, what do you replace it with?
