Thanks everyone for your posts. Bevrs, I remember reading your story of your realtor friend. There's no way that I would be able to do what she did. When I get D, I HAVE to stay home, no way around it. I'm actually looking forward to "getting it all out" before the wedding. My fiance actually pointed that out to me. Plus, I'm going to be so busy with wedding planning, that I doubt I will get a chance to worry about the colonoscopy.
As for my doc "knowing the cause of IBS" I don't really believe him. But, I'm willing to try WHATEVER he wants me to to make me feel better. I find that any food messes with my tummy. IBS diet safe or not. Anyway, I went out and got some 5-HTP which is supposed to increase your seratonin levels. Heather also has a library archive article on seratonin levels testing in IBS patients that was a good read.
I'm feeling positive, so that in turn makes me feel 50 percent better.
Thanks all for the kind words. Two more weeks until the big procedure. I'm actually looking forward to it. How sick is that??
