My mom's friend has IB-D pretty bad. She actually did go the colostomy route, after her doctor suggested it, to give her colon a rest.
While it is not the easiest to have a colostomy, it helped her tremendously. She feels much better now.
I'm sorry you are feeling so distressed. I am too. I wonder if a colostomy would help IBS-C? I haven't gone for days. I feel your frustrastration.
Anytime I hear someone say, oh, it's only IBS, I want to throttle them! If they only knew the toll it takes on your quality of life...there is no life when you are suffering as badly as we are suffering.
