I am new to this site and have hit rock bottom. I have been battling chronic ibs for 10 years now and in the past year it has gotten even worse (for no apparent reason). My main symptom is severe wrenching stomach pain/cramps. I have missed more days then I am allowed at work and am being docked pay. Its a battle to get to work every morning without having to stop, and its only 5-10 minutes away. The cramps get so bad that I am on the verge of passing out most of the time. The cramps come on for no apparent reason. It doesn't matter what I eat or if I eat anything for that matter. Stress has little to do with it, since I can just be sitting on the couch relaxing and suddenly be having a bad attack. I have been on every kind of med and have had every kind of test known to man. My symptoms seem to be similar to chrons but they can find it no matter what test they run. My brother in law has chrons and I have much worse symptoms then him. Does anyone have any suggestions? My gi doctor has me on prevacid (acid reflux), lexapro (antianexiety), levbid, donntal, and librax (all antispasams). Nothing seems to work. I am welcome to anything that has helped anyone else with similar debilitating symptom(s). THANKS!
