Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello,

I just wanted to say welcome and that I can totally sympathize with you, I'm only 22 and having a really rough go of it right now and sometimes it's just so much to handle, but believe me, this forum is awesome and the people here are so wonderful and I think you'll find it very beneficial.

You said you were diagnosed with IBS...did you have a lot of tests done to rule out other disorders? Have you had a colonoscopy, upper and lower GI series or anything like that? You really should have those tests done along with the Celiac test to make sure it's nothing more serious.

I feel you on the food issue, I go days where I can't eat at all, in fact I'm on percocets right now just so I can get tiny amounts of food in me, and may be being put in the hospital soon because I'm just not getting enough. Try and eat what you can, and stick to your safe foods as much as possible.

Take care of yourself, and if you want someone to talk to or to vent to who's close(er) to your age, feel free to email me anytime. It's vicam7@hotmail.com I'm always happy to chat.

Take care,
Kelly
