You guys are definately NOT ALONE. I go and go and never feel like I'm done. I have the same problems as you describe and trying to get a GI to "get it" is next to impossible. I just had a GI visit from Hell 2 weeks ago, was given NuLev which did absolutely nothing to help me in my opinion. I am getting very anxious and depressed at times, who wouldnt be living like this? Finally a few days ago I got a call from the GI that my white blood count and sed rate were elevated and that this indicates some degree of infection/inflammation, he thinks maybe diverticulitis and is going to order a pelvic/abdominal cat scan. The only place in my body where I have any discomfort/pain is my stomach. Finally I am sad to say that I am actually GLAD that there is something measurable that can be seen in black and white that might actually be wrong with me, henceforth maybe it can actually be cured! Its amazing how all of a sudden now this GI is finally taking me seriously and not blowing me off like he did 2 weeks ago by saying youre just the same as you were 12 years ago (colonoscopy to diagnose IBS D alternating with C) and no one ever died from IBS. I wish DR's had this condition perhaps then they would "get it".I never really answered your question. I guess I would say I either cant go or I go to much (can take hours). Fibercon has helped me tons as it makes things more formed (at least in my case) but I have tons of gas and sometimes I cant pass it, sometimes I can. Hell of a way to live.
