I feel yucky!

Gosh I feel so gross... Every time I eat I get horrible gas, no matter what I eat. I looked up Irritable Bowel Syndrome and it sounds similar, but I hope that isn't what I have. IBS can lead to a colonoscopy, which is the last thing that I want. I have been feeling ill for the last few months and worse for the last few weeks. Once I switched to a vegan diet I slowly started feeling better, but lately the gas has been horrid. My doctor prescribed my two enemas (TMI? sorry...) which helped, but I amd still having problems. I have a doctors appt. today, in two hours, but I just can't wait, I feel so awful! Not to mention that fact that when I go, their scale will say that I am 10lbs. heavier than I really am.

Whatever this gas thing is, interferes with EVERYTHING. I have to stop what I'm doing to let it pass - including exercising! It sucks.... it really sucks! I just want to get rid of it. Lately I have only been able to lay in bed and watch movies, which I would normally love to do, except that right now I want to be up and about exercising and losing weight! This has been going on for months. I have this problem where I don't complain enough, go figure. I really hope I don't need a colonoscopy, but the enemas didn't help with the gas and I'm wondering if anything that's similar but stronger will help with it. YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!

I'll go now...

Hugs,
Natalie

gas

I've got some stories about IBS, gas, colonscopies.....too tired to share my medical history now....

Welcome to EP and thanks for inviting me to be your friend.

GAS

I feel pretty bloated and stopped up lately too - but I think it's just my bad eating choices recently. Thank you for the encouragement you posted for me. I really appreciate it. I tend to obsess about things too easily! I hope all goes well for you at your Dr's appt today. I personally avoid doctors like the plague, but when you gotta go you gotta go! Take care!
