I haven't posted much but have a few times, relatively new. I am freeking myself out waiting for testing to be done. I saw the GI specialist on May 3rd where he decided to schedule a colonoscopy, he believes it is IBS but is going to make sure. They took blood and BM samples and scheduled the colonoscopy for 5/26/2004. The nurse called back on Wednesday to tell me that one of the tests came back with slight elevation for Celiax and that they will now need to reschedule for a later date to also go down my throat to test for this, they are both now not scheduled until 6/3/2004 and I will not get the results back until 6/9/2004. I am wondering if everyone goes through this fear before there results that there must be something seriously wrong with you? I am losing sleep scared that they are going to tell me that I am going to die. I am married and have a 4 year old and a 3 year old, I could not imagine leaving them. I know I am obsessing over this and need some advice from others that have gone through this on what you did to calm yourself. My symptoms started right after my 2nd child but they only occured if I ate something greasy/fatty, this went on until March of this year when I woke up in the middle of the night very ill with D,the D would be up to 5 times a day and I was not able to get the D to stop until I started the diet on this website. I tried to go off it on Wed. when they told me it might be Celiex so I tried not having any breads etc. I ended up with loose stools yesterday and an overall feeling of not very good. Yesterday I ate more soluable food like: rice, skinless chicken breast, pretzles, unsweetend applesauce and soy milk. Today there is improvement again where I have had 1 somewhat normal bm and very little cramping. I am trying to tell myself that this is a good indication that it more than likely IBS. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
