and ultrasound as he thinks I have may have gastritis. I have had upper stomach pains for awhile now that comes and goes. He gave me samples of Nexium to try but one of the side effects could be D and since I lean towards IBS-D, I'd rather not have that symptom! Did anyone try Nexium and have not that effect? I always feel like it's something you know? He also said there is no harm in using Immodium as a preventive and not to worry if take a Lomotril or Bentyl for a preventive occasionally. He said why put yourself through the anxiety of going out if you don't have to? (like when you really don't want to worry about going so much.) I like him but really would prefer not to take these tests. He said it seemed entirely different that my IBS so I guess it's better go be safe than sorry.
