Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello I am new to the board just found the site I was diagnosed with ibs about 6 years ago but have had I since I was a teenager, I look back at how much Imodium I took to function in highschool and think that was in no way normal. Any way I will be trying the eating for ibs diet and seeing what I can accomplish there. I just would be happy to entertain any suggestions as to what I should try. My symptoms are ibs-d it is really affecting every point of my life I really don't even leave the house at this point. I will do fine for a few hours then I am in the bathroom every 10 min for several hours I can never be sure when it will hit. I have to take Imodium to do anything and that ends in a week's worth of stomach trouble. I have recently added gas and bloating to my list of symptoms. I will do fine and then it hits most often a pinching or stabbing pain in my abdomen. On the right. Scared me the first time thought I was having an appendicitis went to the ER they assured me after much blood work I was fine that was about a month and a half ago having pain again today. I have also started to get bloating. I am taking a generic gasex twice a day and it has been helping but I still don't know what to do I am just at my breaking point with all of this.
