I have IBS-D for about 6 years now. Started when I stopped smoking, could be coincidental. Anyways since August last year it became worse. It went from pain when I ate something wrong and had to run to the toilet and get relief, to pain all day long with running to the toilet and having no relief at all. I been having in constant pain for about 6 months now and it's slowly driving me crazy. I needed to vent a little. I went and had a colonoscopy taken, said there was nothing wrong, I went to another GI in Leuven ( one of the biggest hospitals in Belgium) there had blood taken, CT scan, schedualed ileocolonscopy( ? ) and endoscopy. My blood showed a lack of vitamine B-12. Is this common for IBS ? The CT-scan showed a lightly more then normal swollen small intestenine, the GI said it could be because it was spasming? I been living on bananas,rice milk, rice/potatoes with chicken/fish , i tried without flavor, i tried with onion and garlic powder, doesn't seem to make any difference, it's hard to tell if your intollerant of anything when there is always pain. Heather's diet did solve my D problems. I can control my D pretty much if i stick to carrots,chicken,white fish,rice, etc etc, the SF foods. However I can't seem to get rid of the pain. Peppermint tea doesn't seem to help. I been taking Acadia even tho D is not a major problem anymore but still there is the pain. I'm clueless here. is this constant pain even a symptom of IBS ? I keep thinking and silently hoping something else (not serious) is going on so they can threat the pain. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening
