i am new to you guys. and my husband needs serious help breaking the cycle of ibs and what triggers it. i need to ask a question here. is there anybody out there who has ibs with upper gi symptoms. he has severe upper abd./stomach pain and vomiting to the point he's straining to throw his insides out. it's hard to believe that anything this severe can't be helped . i know from his dr. since he is newly diagnosed from vanderbilt there is no cure but my husband is having a serious time accepting this is his prob. even though all the proper tests have been done. he is in misery and i'm affraid he's going to give up. noone should have to live this way. if it weren't true you'd think you were in a nightmare. please somebody shed some light on how he can stop an attack once it's started... it takes him days and a trip to the er sometimes. he is now on meds like reglan, librax, and elavil at night. you know, my husband and i are both nurses but everything went out the door as far as anything that made since anymore when it come to this irritable bowel syndrome... you'd think with all of their technology that they could find something to really help. it's seriously disheartening when you can't even help the one you love. all the knowledge in the world don't seem to help at this point. nothing is calming it down. i've read all the info. from heather and you guys and it is very helpful and i try to believe there is help but nothing is helping right now... i have heathers book "eating for ibs" and am waiting for the other book to arrive "the first year" and hope it has a lot of help... if anyone out there has his kind of ibs please let me know how you deal with it and if there is real hope.... my husband thinks this is how he will die. he is 46 years old..... please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
