Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am new to the message board and am waiting for my package of Heather's Fennel tea and pepperment caps.

Brief history:

This past January I decided I needed to lose a few pounds and successful have lost about 15lbs on the South Beach diet.

My problem now is since April I have been a mess. I am bloated almost all the time, my body rarely passes wind and I am in pain 24/7. The pain is in both sides and lower back. That's it, no other symptoms. I have normal daily BM's and in fact since eating healthier I am far more reqular now than in the past.

I am currently taking Baclifin (sp?) for the intestinal spasms, but it is not helping much. I recently tried, Hyoscyamine, but it gave me headaches and really blurred my vision. I also tried OTC gas-x, beano and charcoal tabs with no real relief.

My family doctor just scheduled me to see a Gastro doc, but I have to wait until Oct 19th

Has anyone experienced bloating and pain only? If so, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Robin
