Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | New here...a few questions.

Hi,

I've had a nervous stomach all my life but since the summer time, it's been much more than that. My mom was very sick over the summer and then died in November. The stress of all of that really caused my stomach to flair up. ( mostly in the form of diarreah)

I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow so my doctor can rule out other stuff. I discovered this web site and started watching what I eat and taking soluble fiber and that has helped a lot. Yesterday and today though I have had bouts again with the diarreah. I'm not sure if it's because of the stress of having this procedure done tomorrow or changing my soluble fiber from fibercon to the Acacia. Has anyone had problems when switching brands of fiber? Does it take a little while for your body to adjust?

Also I'm thin, lose weight easily ( 5, 7 1/2 and weigh 112). I don't want to lose more and eating like this I know I will w/o the extra fatty stuff and sweets I was accustomed to. Any suggestions?

Thanks and I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
Sandy
