    The Dicyclomine helps.. It makes me sleepy and apathetic but I don't stress as much

    I am so done with all this, doctors dont really seem to want to help. I would even argue that wal-mart employees are more helpful.

    hahaha...the ultimate insult. What do the docs say ? I've seen some docs too who just don't seem to get it, even GI docs. Btw, what do need help with ?

    I hope they give me a prescription for my constipation today...I was up early because my stomach hurt so bad. Since I am still without a diagnosis, I will guess I have CIC or IBS-C

    gas, poor sleep, little acidity and possibly the some reflux. Dunno how that really started. I suspect tea.

    Why can't it be easier :(. I definitely think there's more going on with IBS that we don't know yet! Hopefully it'll be uncovered within our lifetime so it all start making sense! ;)

    My body cant make its mind up. After several days of needing senna due to constipation, I now have the opposite problem..Grrr. I am so confused right now.

    Yikes, sounds similar to my issues too! It's less confusing to only have troubles with one (c or d), grr! Do you find the dicyclomine is helping you at all?

    Emilyy-It seems to so far but it could be it just makes me so tired I don't stress as much. Its not a failsafe but a good percentage of the time its helped.

    IndianRopeTrick, eh just woke up so not too good, and you?

    Thank you both. Yes the prep was awful but its over. Hopefully the doc knows I have IBS so I don't have to do all the leg work.

    I feel helpless right now. Doctors just want to do OTC stuff which isn't helping. Ontop of that, people are making comments at work, and I know I will be having to occasionally take laxatives while I work :(

    What kind of comments ? Maybe you could ask your manager to help the others understand things. Damn ! If only these "other" people could spend 1 week in an "IBS simulator machine", they would know. Take care and try not to let it bother you.

    Thanks IndianRopeTrick. The usual "why is she in the bathroom so long" or "why does she go to the bathroom so much" I don't really care at this point but I appreciate it.
