FYI- get second opinions as mentioned earlier in this thread because it took 5 different MD over 4 months to figure out I had IBS back in 1991 after questioning me about being prego etc (some MDs do not know much about IBD/IBS disorders. I had gas pains that the some pregnant ladies experience, cut out greasy, spicy, carbonated was very limited & did the herb tea thing and other herbs to calm the digestive track since the Rx med did nothing & still don't (for me anyway)
Weight loss is possible w/ IBS I lost weight and looked anorexic (sp? -have since gained it back but that is another thread). I do not go anywhere that doesn't have "facilities" & I had to have someone cover my classroom around 5 times for RR emergencies. I'm going to follow up to see if it is the start of colitis.
For not being a disease it SUCKs royally. Sorry for being winded.
