Going to the gastroenterologist now!

Wish me luck

Good luck!!!

I was just there yesterday! Good luck! I hope they don't stick you with any tubes!

Good luck!! I hope you are ok.

Good luck. Many

good luck, hope you are OK!!

I'm back.

The results of all my tests were negative.
She said that is a good thing but I don't think so because now there is no medication for me

What was wrong Jules? My FH thinks I should go because my stomach hurts all the time.

Hi Beth are you still here?
I have IBS really bad!
My father has colitis but luckily I don't have that (yet!). I had a whole bunch of tests done on my blood and stool samples (gross) and they found nothing... so they say not to worry I 'just' have IBS! And they can't even give me any of the IBS medications because one is for severe constipation and one is for severe diarrhea when I go back and forth between the 2. My main problem is a huge bloated belly that hurts! (That is why I missed peabodys bbq.) So now all there is for me to do is take Beano and digestive enzymes

Hey Jules, still here. We just got back from Shrek 2. Ugh, I hear ya. I have been having stomach pains and issues off and on lately, I think partly with the wedding/house hunting stuff stress. Sometimes I take papaya enzyme and that helps a bit, but it sucks! And I can only imagine how bad IBS is! Hope your belly is feeling better!

I can TOTALLY sympathize. I am in the same exact boat and it suck$.

I tried a few medications years ago and none of it helped. i finally got so frustrated that now I just deal with it. It is SOOOO not fun

Yes I have that but mine is called Levsin (it is the same thing). It doesn't really help much for me... my main problem is bloating - and I mean HUGE like a pregnant belly... I have been asked before if I am pregnant! It hurts so much. Sorry if TMI but I also NEVER burp or fart so it all just stays in there and causes me pain

Alka Seltzer Gas relief used to help me tons.

I used to take the pink pill then drink a glass of water and then I was good.

You might want to ask your Doc about it.

My Dr. didn't say anything abou that... but then again we were talking about ways to prevent it. She said to try beano and pancreatic enzymes.
Did anyone here try pancreatic enzymes?
