Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Moving toward a diagnosis

An easy way to find your posting as well as responses to it is to click the "Search" button, put in the title you gave to your post (i.e.: "Moving toward a diagnosis"), and then click on the forum you are searching in: Fitness & Lifestyle -- or all of them if you prefer. I had gone here first with a work issue question, and was also advised to go to the first forum listed when you are viewing all the forums (I think it's "Eating for IBS"). I did find that while I only had one response from the fitness site (and that one was advising me to go to the other one), I had many helpful responses on the "Eating... " one.

By the way, my doctor wasn't too helpful either! I had been told she really understood IBS, so I switched to her, only to find that she couldn't help me too much - although she did revise some of the prescription instructions and doses that the other doctor had given me, and they have helped a little. I had hoped she would write to my bosses explaining IBS and that I need flexibility about the time I arrive at work due to the fact that my illness sometimes makes me late (when I'm stuck in the bathroom!). She wouldn't write it!

Good luck! Beverly
