Hi Beth, sorry you are having such a hard time, I know the feeling of being alone a lot of the time, usually lying on my bed, in pain......close to the bathroom, preparing for the next urgent run to the loo, I have to wear sanitary pads every day, just in case I dont make it to the bathroom, and it is a bit of added protection!!....two years ago, I wrote a will out,I too had had enough, so understand the desperation you were feeling...,though glad I am still here, the anxiety gets to me a lot though, and of course the stress and depression...my doc prescribed anti anxiety meds, the side effects were just too much, including "diarrohea", weight gain, headaches etc....so I dont take them....unfortunately in Aussie, the IBS situation isnt really understood, we dont have many products available for it, it is not a discussed topic, I have never seen an ad on tv or in the papers etc, it is looked at as a bit of a nuisance, I think most of the doctors here are comatosed when it comes to IBS, Heathers books are not available in Aus, so have had to order them online from her, and the last time I saw my doctor and told him that I really thought food played a part he laughed and found my comment quite amusing, though told me ibs was stress related and indicated it was all in my head!!...have seen numerous doctors, and gastros, 2 colonoscopies, xrays etc...all said yes you have severe ibs...have a nice life!! - dont think they really accepted my version of how bad things are for me... so pretty much left to my own devices...anyway good luck, though you have been on this diet for a long time, am wondering if you need to look elsewhere, I dont have any suggestions, but maybe someone else on these boards with ibs C can give you some help...Donna :
