Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I have some problems that I need help with. I was diagnosed with IBS recently and I would say that I can remember having bathroom problems for about 9 years - since about 7th grade and I am 21 now. Some people on these boards are talking about how they either have c or d. I never have c and rarely have d. I will try not to make this too grose sounding :D My problem is each morning I will have to get up a few hours before I need to leave because in these hours I go to the bathroom a lot. I can go over 6 times in a matter of 2 hours and then it takes for ever to finish going to the bathroom - to get it all out. Then I will be fine for the rest of the day and night - only sometimes I will go to the bathroom a little bit more but usually never until the next day. I know a lot of the foods I can and cannot have. Greesy fatty foods being the worst. I can't have things such as spagetti, mac and cheese, a lot of meats I can't have such as hamburgers, sausage and SOOO many other things. I don't seem to have any problems that I know of with milk and cheese but I still try to not have too much of that. Usually everyday I go to the bathroom a lot but if I eat these foods it will be WAY worse. Still though when I don't eat these foods I still will be in the bathroom for a main part of the morning. It is better later in the day compared to at night. As of right now I take flax pills and probiotics. I try to eat smaller meals. I eat low amounts of sugar. Pepto is a main thing that helps a lot but the nurse said it is bad to take it a lot which sucks. The doc said to take fiber but that makes it worse. I have tried pepperment pills and that seems to make me worse. I tried collidal silver and that makes it worse. I tried 3lac and that doesn't seem to do anything. The doc I just went to didn't help me. He only told me what I already knew..... So pretty much when I go to the bathroom it is normal but I go so much it makes me crazy. I spend way too much time in the bathroom. Anyone have any ideas???? :crazy:
