Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am seen some postings of people venting...I needed to as well. I posted last week about a HIDA scan - I don't know the results yet, but if the reaction I had to the test was any indication, my gallbladder is fine. Argh. I am sure another test will follow that will cost me money and time...

Here is my vent - I am tired of dealing with this stuff - the IBS-A, the acid reflux. I am tired of not getting to eat the things I want (I am craving chocolate and Cherry Coke) and I am tired of getting on the scale and not putting on any weight. I feel as though I am obsessed with my stomach and BMs and what pain or discomfort I have at the moment! I feel like I am eating all the time (and the right things too - I haven't cheated) and not gaining weight and not feeling better. It is very depressing at the moment and it is getting harder and harder to keep from saying "forget it, I want my Cherry Coke and I am going to have it!" Any thoughts or suggestions or words of wisdom?

I appreciate the venting moment.
