Through this group and many of Heather's items I was able to get a life long IBS-D issue under control and pretty stable. Last year, in October, I had what I call an IBS-D attack and my gut has not be the same since. I have had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, stool tests (one of which was a calprotectin used to detect IBD and it was elevated) - but neither scope who US or Crohn's - blood work etc and so far, 4 months and loosing 12 pounds later - I am at a loss. I use the peppermint capsules, peppermint tea, and the acacia tummy fiber and have for years - when the almost daily cramping and diarrhea started usually 10 minutes to 2 hours after I would eat, anything, I slowly increased my acacia fiber - I also use citrucel fiber and NOTHING helps. I was checked for celiac, for like the 12th time and it said negative. I believe that pasta, healthy bread, rice, pretzels etc. is what kept me in check and kept weight on me. I CANNOT get the IBS-D and cramping to stop. I do not know what else to do - does anyone have any tests my GI should run or food suggestions. I have done the BRAT diet, not eating, low FODMAP diet, getting stable diet. I am very concerned and just cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on. Can anyone, please suggest some things for me to do, eat, talk to my GI about?
