Ick
Friday I had a doctor's appointment for my IBS-D. He seemed more concerned than I. I truly believe that all I have is IBS. Years ago I came to him and thought for sure it was Crohn's Disease because it was so painful. He seemed unconcerned at that time, maybe it was because I was the first to bring up Crohn's. For now, I will be on a fiber supplement (which has shown NO signs of improving IBS-D in studies) and a prescription. If there is no improvement in 4-6 weeks, he will want to schedule me for a colonoscopy and biosopy of my intestines to check for signs of disease. That should be fun. I would prefer that doesn't happen but I guess we'll see.

Yikes...I wouldn't want to have to go through those tests but I am a baby when it comes to that kind of thing. I hope the fiber helps and you can avoid the tests.

I'm with Lisa I wouldn't want to go through these test either. But then again I really, really don't like Doctors or hospitals. I'm keeping you in my prayers on the smoke. (Hugs) Indigo
