Hello All,
I have posted before but under Grand Am 92 (bf user name but thanks to Heather I can now use mine  )
I don't know if I am being unrealistic or if my expectations are just too high, but I can't seem to get well and I am so frustrated, depressed (now), and losing hope.
I fell "ill" last May 06 with what I thought was the flu. The severe runs, vomiting, aches pains etc etc. It went away for a few days and then bam!! right back at it again. A few times it was so bad that I ended up in ER for IV fluids. The following occured: blood work and stool samples, a scope of both ends, gallblader ultersound, abdom x-rays, upper G.I. etc all showed nothing.....was told possible IBS by GP, was sent to "gut" doc. He said I might be lactose intoller, having stomach migraines and a "touch" of IBS. I explained that I was on this IBS diet so no dairy..so how come the lactose intollerence??? from him? anyhow, to this my GP said she didnt concure and yet when I complain about not getting well she stated "what do u want, I am sending you to a specialist??--Ya right, one she doesnt agree with??)
I got Heathers healthy eating book as well as the fibre supplement and fennel tea and pepperment caps etc, been following the diet with out failure and I cant get well. Been on Dicetel, Buscop,Domperidone, Lomotil (diahea) as needed same as immodium, gravol and or Metoclop for nausea as needed, and tylenol.
This is been of course over the last 11 months, but I thought if I took the meds as prescribed, followed the diet whole heartedly and watched my stress and all the other coping mechan..I would get well. I mean even the safe foods when u can eat nothing else bother me. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!!! If I dont eat nothing, then of course I feel better. But its not like ...Oh! I ate that and now short time later i am having troubles so dont eat that again. I can not pin point triggers. Heck the other day I went out on bill payments outting and had a small choc milk which was a total no no and not one pain or bloat or anything??--got so tired of not eating the bad and still feeling ill that I drank the milk, and I am not particularily that fond of milk to begin with but we were at a coffee shop, so i took the lesser of the two evils.
I guess what i need to know is how long before i get well and back to living...like work and liking myself and enjoying even the simple things in life. .....I just feel so defeated and dont know where to turn or what to do.
