daliatree,
Thank you so much for your wonderful words of kindness and encouragement. I visit this board frequently when I am in need of desperate advice and support and I am always touched by the wonderful people on this board. It's nice to know that there are other people out there who are struggling with many of the same problems- especially when it seems like I am the only one in my life who has IBS. I guess I am just having a really bad week. This is my first time off of a birth control (off 7 weeks now)- not to mention, one that I have been on for three years. So it made sense to me that my body would be going through major changes. SO when, my FEMALE GYN told me that none of my problems were caused by being on or stopping the pill, it really freaked me out. It really made me believe that it was "all in my head." So of course, the last few days have been hard. I think I will take your advice. This weekend I will go out and look for a yoga tape and I have already started taking a multi-vitamin (GNC's Ultra Mega- it has lots of B vitamins). If my IBS D symptoms return and anxiety continues, then I will call my GI or visit my PCP to see if they would be willing to prescribe me something- possibly a combination pill like Librax. I just don't want to be dependent on something- just something I can take as needed. Anyway, thanks again for all of your advice, ESPECIALLY all of your words of encouragement. Lately, this seems to be the only place I can get the support I need to go on...
