Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello everyone! My name is Gil and I am new to the boards. My tummy problems really started while I was in college and shortly after, I was dignosed with GERD. It wasn't until about a year ago that I started having issues with the other end! I had a colonoscopy in September that revealed diverticulosis but mostly ruled the other "diagnosable" diseases. After the first scope, I was sent to a specialist who ran some other tests and wants to do a repeat colonoscopy after seeing my results from the first. I really wasn't mentally/physically prepared to go through that again so I have neglected to go back. My tummy, however is telling me different! My symptoms have changed and have somewhat worsened. The cramping is almost unbearable! After an episode last night, my husband is begging me to go back to the doc and to find out what's going on! I know that's exactly what I need to do and I feel pretty confident that IBS is exactly what I have. I found these boards while searching for IBS info. I hope you guys don't mind if I join ya...I figure the more support the better!
