Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hello. I am new here. I have not been dignosed yet but am pretty sure Ibs is what I have. Four years ago I had my Gallbladder removed and right after started having D after most meals, I learned to cope and it realy never bothered much. In the last month all that has changed. I have been having constipation with bloating, gas(that i feel ican't expel) mild cramping, nausea and just all over yucky. I have pretty much stop eating and have become depressed. I have been to the doctor and was told to increase my fiber and i would be fine. I go back tommrow. I have started taking benefiber but is only day three. I have a three year old and am very scared that i am not going to able to take care of her or do the things i have always dreamed of with her. I am so misserable and uncomfortable. I have not been able to stop crying all day. I had to live with a cronic dissoreder for 5 years before that was very painfull but after having my daughter it has never returned(it had nothing to do with bowels). I know what it is like to lose your normal life. I don't want that again. I just don't how to calm myself down. My husband is a huge support and comfort. I could just use some from people who are having the same prob.
Thank you
