BB have you thought of a Chinese herbalist? My husband and daughter both suffered with IBS, daughter turned vegetarian, but now finds can't eat bread or heaps of fibre or condition flares up, Husband I talked into going to herbalist - that was 3 years ago, had 3 mths of tablets (looked like tiny ball bearings) but hasn't been troubled since. It may be worth looking into rather than chemical alternative. My dentist had same success so maybe its worth considering. I only go to GP once a year for a check up - the rest of the time its off to the herbalist. I have a couple of friends who combine meditation with medication and have really good results. judy

my doc has signed me off work,have been off for 5 weeks now,but they only figured what the prob is on tues

BB you might just have to tell the boss your full predicament - embarassing it might be, but at least he will know you arent skiving. As for panties just do a short trip to the end of the road and to test them out, imagine you are wearing sexy underwear, walk tall, and no one will ever guess. At least you would have peace of mind if you get caught short! judy

i feel so much better being able to discuss things like this with u lot,id get embaressed telling my friends

my bowel isnt working like it should,ive got severe IBS and it goes one way then the other v quickly if u know what i mean

G'Day All, Sorry to hear about your problems BB - just read in the paper this morning that IBS may be related to a food allergy. I'm on holiday today which is why I'm here at this time (10:30 in W.A.). Hope you get well soon. Friar

BB,can you ,if you don't mind,explain what is actually happening to your body. Hop-a-long.

im just terrified of going out,my boss thinks i cant go back to work cos of the pain,thats half of it but im terrified of what might happen if i do go back to work

Aah BB.I really feel bad for you.It sounds terribly embarassing for you.I couldn't wear womens personal business because I was always afraid people would notice.Can you not get away with wearing these instead? Hop-a-long.

Seriously,thankyou Natalia.I must apologise for calling you Natalie.Marie Clare is it? I live by the Ardoyne in Belfast and I can tell you thats a hairy place to live. I know how you feel.I hope your nephew and family weren't to nervous.It's a horrible feeling. Hop-a-long.
