When I was in high school, my IBS got so bad that I would throw up from the pain...DAILY! Literally, I'd come home from school, throw up and repeat... So i went to the doc and my Mom, an RN/BSN suggested some pain meds for the intense cramping. He didn't want to give me any pain meds b/c" "They will affect my personality and my relationship with others. Try tylenol. It's just as good"
Classic. No wonder it took me so long to get IBS under control!
