I am a 20 year old female. I was diagnosed with IBS nearly 3 years ago, and was keeping it under control with medication. 16 weeks ago, I had what the doctor assumed to be a flareup. I was in absolute agony, I had diarrhoea and constipation, and felt like I was being ripped in half. Since then, if I eat ANYTHING the symptoms return, and I have to spend up to 10 hours on the toilet if I eat. I've lost 4 stone, and have been unable to go out. I'm getting very depressed, especially since I should be starting Uni in sept, and I can't go like this. The doctor was treating me for diarrhoea, but it didn't work. The general surgeon thinks the main problem is constipation and took me off my medication, but this has made the problem even worse. Please could you give me some sensible advice or ideas of who to turn to? I can't go on like this!
