new - ibs, constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi. I have that rubbery stuff a lot. Joining this

forum is sort of the end of the line for me. I have

been sick for about 6 months straight but I believe

I'e had trouble like this before, but not as severe.

I get constipated very easily and am constantly

fatigued. My belly is huge. I just did several water

enemas this morning and about two pounds of long,

stringy, rubbery, nasty smelling crap came out. This

isn't the first time this has happened. It's freaking

me out.

My docor says this isn't diet related and that it's

just " functional " . I've been doing yoga and some qi

gong on a regular basis. I also massage my belly. I

really think it's my diet that is creating the

problem. So today I have decided to give up wheat and

most meats...just sticking to chicken and fish for

now...unless I have to give that up too. I ate oatmeal

for breakfast and rice with bok choy (cabbage) for

lunch. I usually just eat rice based dishes, but then

sometimes " cheat " . When I " cheat " , I get sick. I know

other foods must be triggering these attacks too. I

called a person who does applied kinesiology so that I

can get tested for food allergies.

I had a flex sig a couple of weeks ago and will be

getting a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty

scared about the colonoscopy.
