      From maddmary Saturday

      Mia good to hear from you, maybe Graves IBS, something I suffered from for a long time and have you been ckd for celeacs disease, same type of symptoms. What I do is take Librax a stomach pill, eat lots of bran yogurt all pretty healthy foods. Gastroenterologist is who you need to see and document what you eat when, emotional atmosphere, etc and show the doc. With IBS it can come when were not dosed right so if your levels are good hopefully the gastro doc will find it. Missed you Hugs Mary
