Hang in there, young angel. We all care for you here. It's good that your Mom is trying to get you in. When the time comes, make sure that your Doc explains everything to your Mother ie. it's NOT in your head. You may even if you are with the Doc alone mention that you aren't getting much support at home. Tell him what you have been limited in food choices and that has made things worse. Make sure he understands that you are missing too much school (more likely to take you seriously) and that you need HELP NOW. Ask for any other information that he has so that your Mom can read up on it. Maybe it'll sink in that it's not in your head. You didn't ask for this. This is as much a medical problem as is Diabetes or Heart Disease, except way more people have IBS than either Diab or H.D. Do your best to stay calm and not get frustrated. That only makes the IBS worse. Try to relax every day. Hang out with your friends, go window shopping, whatever. Try to stay mellow. Let us know how you're doing. And remember, things can only get better.
