im sorry your so scared.. it sounds like a really rough time for you..
lost of people suffer from ibs and i know its uncomfortable... nothing bad is going to happen to you from it i promise ... sometimes meds just stop working trust me i know.. i was taking acid reflux meds for years and oneday they stopped working.. sometimes we just have to switch over to a new medication for awhile... like i said a lot of people suffer from ibs and i know your scared and worry that it could be somthing more serious but thats anxiety for you.. it always makes us think the worst... i know you are just fine ... i also know your uncomfortable and feeling that way ofcourse is going to make a person anxious.. you will be fine sometimes we just have to go see a doctor he will probably just give you somthing stronger and it will be all over with really fast! i know this is a very hard time for you so if you ever need someone to talk to send me a message... ibs is something alott of people have... including me.. it sucks i know but when its all said and done you will be just fine.

hi malv

Thanks so much for your kind words....i think i,m also anxious because it was a year yesterday since all this anxiety really started getting the better of me i had bad heartburn that day and i was scared because my sister was talking about taking me hospital i can remember it all like yesterday the more i try and be normal the more ill i feel and if i rest i feel as though i am letting it win it is such a battle in my head everyday which i know will make my ibs worse i am so hoping 2010 will be a better year i really am thanks again :hugs:

Have you tried eating Satsumas big time? Or anything like that, Clementines, oranges etc. Those are really good at keeping you regular. If I have a alcohol night, I can be constipated afterwards, due to the dehydration. But ive noticed if I eat lots of citrus fruit, I say lots, even 2 a day would be benefiacial, then it kinda sorts itself out?
Are you in a lot of pain with it? Because as I said, I get it after a night on the booze, but dont let it bother me, then it sorts itself out within a couple of days anyway?
