I second everything Heather said, and I would also echo the others who talked about controlling your stress and anxiety. I think you are on to something when you say that you think the worrying is what is making you worse. It definitely could be! Have you thought about the hypno CDs? I'm almost done with the course, and I have noticed a tremendous change. Other things, like excersizing, volunteering, starting a book club, can help you take the focus off your IBS and put it back on your entire person. Think about it. And let your doctor know how stressed and anxious you've been feeling all the time -- maybe he or she has some suggestions. ~~Panda~~
