I am new to this discussion board, but hope I can get some information and maybe advice. Amid a ton of stress in the past 6 months (my brother passed away of lung cancer and I quit smoking after 40 years (4 months ago) etc.) I find myself with some major intestinal problems. I have been to my doctor (for what it was worth) and she says I have IBS. I'm not sure I trust her, but Ok. I have a ton of gas problems, and I mean to the point of embarrassment, cramping, abdominal pain, major diaherra, some constipation, and a whole lot of noisy growling going on constantly. Does get a lot worse after eating. I haven't been given any meds or advice on what to eat and what to avoid, or anything that would seem to be of practial help. Any advice, comments, or information?View Thread
