Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Need advice. Am really lost.

I felt the same way you do now.Yes I thinkYou hve IBS,not a doc but it sure sounds like it.
Have you been eating Heathers diet? Start with that for a few weeks and see if your tummy settles down.I too had my gallbladder out and doc said that was where all my problems were from.Wrong,It took away the heart attacks like symptoms and pain in right side but because of all that stress,I returned to IBSd.
So to answer a few questions,yes churning all day,not sure if it's stomach or bowel.Not sure what to take for it either! Sometimes a slice of bread or some pretzels and water help.
Chest pain ,yes sometimes.Lower left or right pains,yes.
I think the problem is that we are so attuned to what's going on in our digestive track that we have a more sensitive system and can feel everything going on. Gas is the worst pain I find and I haven't figured out how to help that problem.It puts me in tears.

I hope this helps,everyone is or has gone through this and these boards are full of helpful people that truly understand. It's hard to find a good doc that will admit that you have IBS.See they have nothing to really treat it so they refuse to acknowledge it exists.
Good luck to you. Have a good weekend.
