Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | BEEN AWAY DUE TO ILLNESS, PLEASE HELP.

Hello everyone and to the new members that have joined since i'v been away, i have visited a couple of times just to read as i have not been good since last August.I hope someone can help and identify with me,here is my problem.
Prior to joining IBS last year i had the usual exams like scope up and down which nothing showed up,back and forth to my GP changing meds all the time until i was told by another Doctor that i had IBS.I was put on Nexium and found this site,i started to do what Heather suggested changed my whole way of eating and became a new person,this lasted until i started to go off track a little intruducing things that i know i should not have which have led me to where i am today,i have to say that i didn't go off track that much however i am blameing this.My acid reflux returned now and then and i developed a pain under my left rib cage,sometimes it came when i didn't eat,i found it came while driving the car as if my top half caused pressure.I had a Barium Meal done last week and nothing showed.I was sent to casuality before Christmas had an xray which was ok also but they told me i had a Hiatus Hernia and sent me home with Losec and painkillers, i spent Christmas in bed.My own GP was away on Thursday so her partner saw me and said i had a sliding Hiatus Hernia and wrote to the Doctor in Hospital that did the camera scope before so he has asked for me to have another scope done as a sliding Hernia don't show up on a Barium Meal!!!I will be waiting some weeks to have this done.Can anyone identify with me regarding stinging knife like pain under left rib cage.I know i can't get back on track until i see the end of this.
If Heather has a chance to reply i would be grateful also..Sorry to make this long but i need help, thank you.
