Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like all I do anymore is cry or think about how much IBS has ruined my life. I used to be such a happy outgoing person and Ive turned into a depressed person who never even leaves her house anymore. I dont know why but lately my symptoms have completely changed to feeling like crap EVERY SINGLE night and getting D like once a week or once every 2 weeks and I barely used to get it at all. I havent changed my diet at all - in fact I eat the same thing everyday (which I know is a problem and Im trying to fix it) so I know it cant be the food causing it. I did move 3 weeks ago but all the stress from that is gone so I dont think its stress. Although I have been extremely depressed because of all this so I guess thats pretty much considered stress. The only other change was that my doctor wouldnt refill my antispasmadic - Hyoscamine - that I have taken 3 times daily for almost 2 years now so I had to just quit taking it and that was about 3 weeks ago also - can this have that sort of effect? I am not currently taking an SFS - Ive always sorda been scared of them ( I tried acacia for about 2-3 days and it made me sick) but Im thinking about trying it again. Anymore suggestions or thoughts?
