Hello!
my name is Melissa, i used to come to these forums all the time about 5 years ago when i was struggling with my IBS. I started thinking about all of you the other day, and thought i would share something. When i was struggling with my IBS, i finally seen a doctor. I had all the tests, everything everything everything, and they told me there was nothing, so therefore : IBS. I lost 60 pounds in about 6 months, was extremely unhealthy, eating nothing but plain bagels with margarine and plain white spaghetti noodles with margarine. It wasn't until 2 years later i found out i had Endometriosis. I went back onto the birth control pill (which i stopped pre- IBS) and my symptoms went away. I also was suffering with anxiety, (still am) which i didnt know as well. I started doing research on Endo and IBS and how they are related, and can sometimes be mistaken for a reproductive issue, rather than IBS. Anyway, i really wanted to post to all the women to get their reproductive organs checked, because that was causing me pain. To this day, i still suffer from sparatic episodes of diareah, but i feel so much better than i ever did.
Thanks to this site, i got back to my old self. Thank you to everyone.
There is hope.
Keep your chins up.
Melissa
