Eric, a couple thoughts for you. First of all you need to sit down, take a deep breath and relax - calm down. People don't die from IBS, you may feel like you wish you could but believe me, it will get better. Everyone here is wishing you the best and understand what you are going through, we've all been there.
Second, order Heather's book and read it cover to cover several times, until you totally understand what she's saying. Eric, if you simplfy your life and your diet things will begin to fall in place and you will start to feel better.
Once you have your IBS symptoms a little better under control, then talk to your dr about the palps. From the research I've done on this board, most people with IBS do not have palps associated with it unless they are having an attack. The palps could be associated with a vitamin and/or mineral deficiency - which can easily happen to people who have had chronic diarrhea...so that is something for the dr to check. I would also recommend Heather's Acacia fiber powder, it works great for most people and personally, I love it.
But the best advice I can give you is to try to calm down, take control of your life and your body and, like you said, give your stress to the Lord to handle for a while. All the best to you, Eric, good luck.
Shari
