Hi Courtney,
I just wanted to welcome you to the boards. I know how overwhelming all this is, but just keep reading everything on this site and posting questions as you need to. While you're waiting to get the books, you can read what you need to know right here on the web site. Have you read what to eat when you can't eat anything else; Breaking the Cycle?(http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/fiber1.asp) Also, learn what ingredients to watch out for, and then read the labels. Like everybody said, you've sure come to the right place for help and support. I really hope you'll be feeling better soon!
Terri

Well I am assuming that IBS-C stands for constipation. Which I have the opposite, so I am not sure if this will work for me. I go to the bathroom wayyyy too much and I need to find a medicine that really works, Like I said I am taking Levsin and it stopped working and now I have a prescription for Bentyl which I have not gotten filled yet. So, I guess I will find out if it works and he wants me to take it every other day, and Levsin I am taking every twelve hours. I dont know, I guess it is process of elimination to find out what works for me!

Hey Courtney....
Try not to get discouraged...you will find something that works!!
I just saw my doc on monday and switched prescriptions too...I was previously on Dicetel and it didn't work for me so now I'm trying Modulon.
I was so discouraged and defeated when I walked into that doctor's office but my doc assured me that there are plenty of different meds out there and she's sure that at least one of them will work.
Unfortunately it sucks having to go through the process of elimination before you finally find something that works for you.
Good luck!!
