you found your way to curezone.... i think you are on your way.
i wish i could advise you but i am new here myself & still learning. i am on a quest to get my "good" health back...i'm on a quest to cure the stomach problems i have had now for at least 10 yrs.that doctors said the same thing to me "live with it"
tracey & ptree may want to add to what maddie posted ... i just wanted to say don't give up... keep searching...keep reading... keep asking questions. i have read so many stories here from people who have found healing from ibs among other things...
