I was wondering if anywhere here has IBS because I haven't talked to anyone that has severe IBS like me. Mine is so severe I can't work so I have to be on disability. That's how bad it is. I have many severe symtoms. I am doing so many things to get stable but nothing helps alot. I'm drinking strong peppermint tea, eating beano, eating crystallized ginger, taking Dicetel, eating Altoids, working out, etc. Everything it says to do on this site. Everything I do only helps a little and I'm going crazy. It's so horrible and I have no idea what to do. It's so bad I'd rather be dead. I can hardly eat so I'm hardly getting any calories each day since I can only eat a very small amount of food only because my water retention and gas is so severe. So I'm not getting enough vitamins and minerals. I'm so bloated and full constantly. It's so painful. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? Is there anything left to do even? Thanks. I can really use the help. I'm miserable.
