Hang in there and the best advice i can give you is really educate yourself about IBS using forums such as this one, mayo clinic web site, web md. I keep a notebook where i jot questions that i want to ask my doctor about, articles that i found that intrest me, if having a bad spell i document what i ate to trigger a spell and i research doctors!

Stress is a big factor for me, it messes with my entire system, ibs-d, migraines, depression, anxiety amoung them! I have learned to advocate for myself with doctors. Take charge as much as you can!

Wishing you all the best in finding some answers!
