Getting some answers


IBS

    That is my official diagnosis, after many tests, including a colonoscopy and endoscopy.  My doctor has prescribed prescription strength probiotics, and has told me to keep a food journal to keep track of which foods "set me off".  I feel better having an answer finally, but it does seem a bit "anti-climatic".  After all, IBS is just a big word to say "my stomach hurts when I'm stressed or I eat certain foods".  The good news is that it's not dangerous, and doesn't have any ill effects on my overall health.
   So, there you go!
