Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Oh my you sweet young thing, my heart is absolutely breaking for you right now. PLEASE PLEASE do not feel embarrassed or disgusted by what you are going through. And NEVER ever feel too embarrassed to tell your doctor EXACTLY in graphic detail what is going on. That is what you pay them for, you should never be concerned about their reaction - you need to focus on you and your visits to the doc are all about YOU and NO-ONE ELSE!!!

I do understand your embarrassment because I've been there myself - but you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Your body is not working the way it was designed and you did not create that!!! Please do not wait too long to see a good GI doc. And here's a suggestion, if you don't think you can go in and give the doc all the details then write it all down on paper (maybe a diary style) then ask your mom to read it to the doc or just have the doc read it himself - this might make it easier for you.

I wish you the very best and hope you get some relief soon!
