Hi, all. I'm trying to figure out what is going on with me, and I thought someone here might have advice. I've had bad IBS my whole live. (I'm 43, and I've had problems since I was 17.) I often feel my IBS rules my life. Once I found Heather's diet and this site, things improved, thanks to acacia and her diet recommendations, but I seem to have started having a lot of problems again. I've always struggled with depression but am well-treated with anti-depressants. In addition to the life-long IBS, I've got (these days) anemia (treated with iron, and I've got normal blood counts now), persistent leg pain (back of the leg, which I thought might be from herpes, since you can get back of the leg pain before a herpes attack, but I'm on a medicine that prevents the attack). I'm also exhausted. All the time. I thought it was the anemia--I was super-anemic for a while--but now that my blood counts are back up, I'm wondering if something else might be the matter with me. I've been tested for celiac, but I test negative. (My dad has celiac--only diagonsed late in his life. No one else in the family has it. I'm lactose intolerant, but I'm pretty good re: avoiding lactose, caffeine, and fat. I.e., I basically stick to Heather's diet.) Anyway, long post I know, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar constellation of symptoms, and if so, what it meant. Thanks, thanks. This website (as rarely as I post) had been a godsend. Thanks, all.
