keep trying katie,i know how you feel i also felt like i wanted to die,people that haven't had this sort of problem don't understand,i was told i had i.b.s and also tests showed i had diverticolitis,this was probably caused by constipation.I also felt really depressed i tried 3 differant anti-depressants but all of them made me feel worse,i really felt like giving up,then i found this forum and i feel there is light at the end of the tunnel,other people have got better and so shall we it really helps when you read the success stories does't it.anyway Katie keep up the good work,bye for now.Jeanette
