Hi there,
I believe that I have IBS. I do have a doctors appointment next week. I have had a lot of diarhea for the past few months. I can have up to five or six bowel movements in the morning alone.
I am going through a lot of changes right now: just finished grad school, looking for ajob, moved to a new city, and moved in with my boyfriend. With all of these changes occuring, I feel like my symptoms have worsened.
Fortunately, it usually happens in the morning and then I am okay by the afternoon. Any suggestions on how to make my mornings easier? I have already started taking calcium pills which did help at first. I have cut things such as: coffee and diet coke out of my diet. At first this did help, however; my symptoms are still just as bad as they were when I was drinking these beverages. Exercise does seem to help a little bit. Does anybody have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance for your support and suggestions!
-Rachel
