Hi Stacy!
Try not to get too stressed out. Stress can just make your symptoms worse.
Since you have reflux, don't try the peppermint tea. That can make it worse. Try chamomile. Very soothing.
When I first went to see my GI, I was sent for possible reflux, but I didn't have that. (LONG story. ) Anyway, while I was there, I just told him about my other symptoms, and he took it from there. I had to do a stool test (to check for blood), an upper endoscopy, and colonoscopy.
All were a piece of cake. Don't worry about it. Believe it or not, I thought the endoscopy was neat. I don't expect many (if any LOL) people to agree with me. I told my doctor, and he thought that was interesting. LOL He even gave me copies of the pics from both of my procedures. Anyway, the point is don't be ascared!
While you're waiting for a proper diagnosis, it shouldn't be bad for you to try Heather's diet. Read here about the fibers. You still want insolubles, just carefully.
Good luck and keep us posted on your appts!
