Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I noticed (or it seems) like a lot of people on here who have IBS, feel the pain or aggrivation immediately after they consume something that upsets their stomach. My problems aren't clear cut like that; My cronic stomach aches and constipation just stay the same every day. Does this still sound like IBS, and could it be that severe if you haven't started on a plan? If that sounds like IBS still, how long do you think it would take on average, to see any kind of improvement? I'm also taking Benefiber (sugar free) with the only ingredeant being Guar Gum. It hasn't helped yet... but I've only been taking it for seven days so far.

Anyway to give a quick guide, I've already seen specialists about:Celiac / Spastic Colon / proctitus, and I've had a berium enema and colonoscopy done. The only thing I can think of is IBS, and I'm hoping it is because its going on 8 months now and I have enough pain that makes me want to pass out at work. (Another symptom of IBS? Fatique?).

Thanks again everyone,
Chris.
