Hi all!

I am new to this board but have been around iVillage for awhile.

Alway I have been told for years that I may have IBS but did not know for sure. I never really had much pain I just felt bad and have diarhea (sp). Now for the last week I have been having a lot of pain on the left side of my stomach very low.

I went to the doctor today and he said that I probably have IBS and he would like to do a colonospy at some point. He told me to change my diet and he would see me in 3 weeks. The only problem is that the pain is worse now and I don't know how to stop it. I called to the doctor and he said that I should go to the ER if it gets really bad.

Thanks
Sarah

Wren,

Thank you for getting back to me. The pain is a little better today, I figure that I will got to the ER if it gets bad again.

I will try to remember to start writing things down. I do have diarehea almost everyday so I am used to it. I don't have a fever and no female problems.

Hopefully by changing my diet I will get better.
