Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

So just to give you an idea of my normal IBS life, I always watch what I eat, but I don't have to be super strict about stuff as long as I follow the general rules. Like I can eat chocolate and ice cream if it's not too much. Normal cheese if it's not too much and with bread..that kind of thing. If I do have an attack it's not very often and only if I've just gone overboard one day. So my stomach will hurt and I get the nausea thing and I'll have D but I'll take some immodium and tylenol and a couple hours later I'm pretty fine and just have to be careful the rest of the day or whatever.

The past like week (and now this has happened to me on and off in the past few months) I just get this weird thing going on that I can only describe as kind of being gas in me. Like my stomach will make noises and I get this bubble in my throat feeling that makes me want to gag (which worries me since I hate hate hate throwing up). But that's really the extent. I don't really feel like I'll have D or anything, just this weird sickish bubble in the throat gassy stomach nausea kind of thing. Does anyone else ever have anything like this and what do you do?

It's bothering me because I kept hoping that this would go away because tomorrow I'm supposed to leave on a road trip with my friend for 11 days and I really don't want to be feeling bad and worrying myself so much. I won't be able to just lay in my bed and sleep or get away with eating just bread the whole time.

Any thoughts or ideas??
