Either I don't have IBS or I have the most unusual case around. Everything I eat, other than my bland baked chicken, white rice, white potatoes diet absolutely kills my belly. I am in terrible pain today, from an epsiode I had Wednesday morning and Thursday night. I am so desperate for answers. I have a terribly painful area just under the left ribcage, but more toward the midline of my tummy. When it's pressed upon I feel like I could pass out and the pain will hurt in the exact same area in my back. For years I had, what I called the normal case of IBS, I'd get a throbbing pain on the left side of my umbilicus and shortly thereafter I'd go to the bathroom. Now I just hurt all the time, night and day. I can't eat anything other than the chicken diet I just talked about. I have terrible trapped gas for days after an episode, but can't take the anti-gas agents for they contain sorbitol. And they never did help anyway. I was thinking of seeing a gastroenterologist, I just don't know. I need help. Heather I have your book and I would give my eye teeth to be able to eat those foods you talk about, I just can't imagine being able to eat those. I've tried, it just doesn't work for me. Do you think this could be Celiac? I can't eat anything made with oats or oat flour, but then again I can't eat much of anything. This is all just making me nuts...... I need help and don't know what to do.... Meg
