Hey there, I'm new too. As far as missing work, don't fret, you are not the first. I missed plenty of work myself from this. Have you had a colonoscopy? Do you have a Gastro doc? If not, get one. This will help you see where you'r at w/ IBS. In the meantime, try a fiber supplement, like Metamucill, or Citricel. I took it twice a day, & it helped until I could get checked out. Also, cut out the caffeine, & drink plenty of water, your bowel needs it, like 8-10 glasses a day. It will take some getting used to but, also try to up some of your veggies, SLOWLY! I've been IBS-Constipated for 14 yrs, but now I'm pretty stable. Any other questions, my email is kee743@hotmail.com Kee
