i'm fairly new to all of this too. it's frusterating how doctors who we think know so much...come up with everything else but IBS. I went to the doctor last year telling them that i thought that's what i had, because i got sick so often....and on occation be so constipated i was in huge pain..which i actually went to the ER for, because i was in so much pain, and seriously thought i was going to die. anyway. many many many people get the colonoscapy...i'm sure i'm spelling that wrong. It's one of those unspoken tests people don't speak of, because it almost feels taboo. this site has helped me more than any doctor really has. as we all have our days....i'm having mine...some days are worse than others...ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE SCARED OF FOOD!! (sorry i'm still trying to recover from my bad day...) but this site, and these people on this site are so informational, and so empathetic to everything, it's nice to know you arent some freak with weird bowl problems! i'm actually almost able to make a joke of it at times...that probably didn't help you too much..but welcome just the same!
