I havnt ever seen this site before, but was searching for information on ibs. My mum said it might be a good idea to look around for some idea of what i can do for my ibs.I have had IBS since 13 and currently at - 18 am finding it extremely hard to "Keep it in perspective" as everybody keeps telling me. I do not suffer everyday with ibs but i mostly have extreme adominal pain brought on by anyting that i have to do in life that is stressful. I recently had re - sit exams and was unable to attend because i find it so daunting - i dont feel that anyone understands and am constantly fobbed off by my doctor - who says all i need to do is change my diet!.Im currently becoming extremely depressed as i feel that it is depicting where i go and who i see because i hate being in situations where i cannot leave - which panics me!.Has anyone got any help for how to handle these types of situations?x

Thanks for the replys its nice to know that im not entirely alone - even if those around me have no idea!Im going Doctors again soon - then im going to the hospital for various scans etc - does anyone know what happens from there?Im already on 'Spasmonal' and Peppermint capsules and although they alleviate it whenever i get anxious it comes back! Im thinking that maybe i have to look at relaxing a bit.I currently trying to sit my A levels in the summer on my own - to see if that helps! no one at the school understands whatsoever and im treated like im trying to get away with something.
