Does anyone get borborygmi? Heehee, that is a LOUD noise that comes from my intestines. It isn't painful at all, and I don't really notice it associated with gas. But it gets so loud sometimes...I know other people can hear it. I often wonder if they think I have gas and just can't control myself...

Anyway, I've read a bit about Lactose Intolerance lately, and this noise is supposed to be one of the symptoms of LI, but I haven't heard to much about it associated with IBS. I'm beginning to doubt my doctor's sanity in ruling out LI so quickly (never ran a test for it). So now I'm thinking it isn't IBS at all...but instead lactose intolerance. I haven't had anything dairy at all for a couple of days, I've upped the ISF, and I do feel a lot better, still some problems, but dairy is supposed to take up to three days to work it's way out so I still have time

So, hopefully that's what it turns out to be...thankfully my health insurance is covered by the military, otherwise I'd be pretty ticked off about all those OTHER tests I took to figure out what's wrong with me...
