Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

just a vent .....I went to Dr "A" 2 yrs ago and he diagnosed me with IBS based on symptoms only and gave me meds I also complained of "gall bladder" type symptoms and he blew them off ....after 2 months the meds quit working so I went back and he doubled the dose.....again I complained of the "gallbladder attacks" and he blew them off again....so the double dose of meds worked again for about 2 months and quit so here I go back and he says that is the only meds to give me and there is nothing he can do just keep taking the meds....btw the ones not working.....so over the next 1 1/2 yrs I go back several times and each time nothing the las time was in 2009 when I told him to take my gall bladder signs serious and do something or I would find a Dr that would and he sent me to have a sonogram and guess what GALLSTONES!!!! I had surgery and the surgeon asked "why did I let this go on as long as I did" WTH??/ I tried it was the quack Dr I was seeing......anyway I put up with the diarreaha until last Wednesday and I went to Dr "B" and he asked when was my colonoscopy and was mad that that dr "A" never did one and was just treating me blindly and that the symptoms could also be similiar to colon cancer!!! I had my colonoscopy Tuesday and NO IBS!!!! he said my colon is having spasams and an overgroth of the normal bacteria in my colon that is normally thereis causing my diarreaha ......no wonder my meds didnt work.......on a sided note I seen Dr "A" at the hospital waiting to have my colonoscopy and I wanted to just slap him....but I didnt
