May 2014

got it after Clindamycin for an infection. Nothing has worked to fix the GI effects. I'm on my second GI doctor, this one at a teaching hospital.

As far as I know, they don't understand what actually goes wrong with the GI system. Doctors don't seem to take it IBS seriously. I have the constipation-predominate variation and if one more person tells me to eat Raisin Bran, like that never occurred to me, I will throw them off a roof. I have tried everything - diet, exercise, probiotics.
