Hi guys! Todd, thankyou so much for your suggestion! I will go to the health store today and pick some of that up! Just posting this before i head off to work so havnt had a chance to get to those links, but i will! I am currently taking a probiotic, that was suggested to me by a pharmacist. So fingers crossed that by adding HCL ill see improvements!
In response to whether i have looked into other medical reasons for my symptoms, im going back to the doctor today to insist some blood work and an ultrasound or scan of some sort! - Just to rule out anything serious. Does anyone else get sick of doctors saying "well it's probably IBS, just change your eating habbits and see if that helps" Argh, frustrating! I also get alot of "you're too young for it to be anything serious" (im 22) anywho... enough of my ranting on the subject of doctors!...
Thanks so much for the info! I'll definately keep you posted on the results
