Hi,
Unfortunately, when I went to the GI guy that did the colonscopy, he neglected to tell me at the time, that there is such a thing as a specialty within a specialty. Go figure. After the test, I asked for another appointment so that we could further evaluate my problem, and he said he would have to refer me to another GI doc. He only does colonscopies. Now, that is absolutely ridiculous. Now, I have to find another doc. I am just sick of it. That is the reason I have not been definitively diagnosed. From my own investigation there are so many conditions that would require different tests from a prolapsed rectum to gluten sensitivity. etc. That is alot of money for me, since I pay my own health insurance. But, from reading the symptoms of IBS and how it can be triggered, it fits me to a T!
Honestly, at this point, I would love the "C" side all of the time. At least I know what to expect. It is what I have dealt with for 54 years.
I do have the EFT tapes, along with the Linden method. I ordered both for dealing with the anxiety, long before I started dealing with what I think is the IBS. The Linden method is fantastic. I can't stress how good he is. Now, the EFT tapes have not worked for me, no matter how much I tap. That is not to say they don't work...just not for me at this point. I have read alot on energy work and actually see an energy worker once a month, so I know there is much value in it. I did call Gary Craig, from the number on his website, and believe or not, I reached him. He could not have been kinder or more willing to talk, and he wasn't getting paid for it, mind you. He said, and I agree with him, that either I haven't reached my core issues with anxiety, or I really need someone to tap for me instead of tapping myself. I checked with a therapist that was local and she wanted an outrageous amount of money to work with me, and she didn't accept insurance. I truly want to heal, but I can't go broke doing it.
I have thought about the pads, but I don't know how much they would help considering the volumne of stool that comes out of me at times. I think I may try it just kind of as a bandaid for now.
As far as drugs, I have dealth with this anxiety for most of my life with good results, from not using drugs, so I would prefer to keep it that way. I truly believe for some reason, that the accident last July triggered this mess, and it may take some time to heal. I will continue to try it without drugs for anxiety, but of course I do not condemn anyone who uses them.
It is also strange that I have no problems on the weekend when I sleep in. It seems to be work days only, at least so far. There is much stress at work right now, plus other stress in my personal life, but I thought I was dealing pretty well. I guess not. Maybe there is more underneath than I am aware of.
Well, GaGa, thanks for listening. I will try the diet to calm down the gut, and see how it works. I guess like all on this site, I must find my own way. 
Lynn
