Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you all know that the airplane ride and traveling was okay. I did actually have some stomach issues on the plane ride there.....but it was not that big of a deal. It was not pleasant but I survived. The rest of the trip to NY was fine for the most part. There was one other instance inwhich I was searching for a bathroom. Once again though, not that big of a deal. Part of dealing with ibs, is just trying not to worry about it and dwell on it too much. However, that is easier said then done sometimes.

My doctor has really made me kind of angry regarding my tummy issues. She gave me a packet of info about ibs and that was it. I asked her about ways to alleviate pain and symptoms and she gave me nothing. I just moved though and I will be changing my doc real soon.
I am starting the birth control yasmin soon and one of the potential side effects is diarhea. So, I am kind of nervous about this.

Other then that, I am suffering from cramps, cramps, cramps right now. Yes, I walked for about an hour today and so I am not lacking for exercise. grrr!
