I also went from doctor to doctor, had every test, repeated them over and over, even had surgeries just to try to get rid of this problem. I wouln't believe it was "only" (hah!) IBS. Something that hurt this much had to be something else, and they were just missing it so maybe another doctor could find it. I didn't want to believe I had something that was "invisible" or "incurable" and couldn't be fixed with a pill or surgery. It wasn't until I found this site, read the book and heard all the other people's stories that I finally accepted that this is what I had but finally there was a place to find some hope, cause I sure wasn't getting any hope from doctors or non-IBS friends. You'll find lots of helpful suggestions here ! And lots of us deal with headaches. I sometimes feel nauseated right after eating breakfast for a short while & sometimes it lasts longer and then is gone for months. I read somewhere a whole list of other non digestive symptoms that a large majority of IBS people get as well, now if I can only remember where I saw it, and nausea, headaches & anxiety were in there.
