Hi Stacey

I can understand your situation. I have gone through some similar experiences. healthunlocked.com/theibsne...

None of the medicines prescribed by Dr. helped me, except peppermint oil capsules. But I then found probiotics and some natural treatments helpful to deal with the root cause of the problem. Stress/Anxiety is also a major factor in such cases.

I would suggest, get all the tests done first colonoscopy, gastroscopy, etc. and make sure that its IBS & not something else. Meanwhile try some natural remedies. If you say you have gas & bloating, try taking fennel powder 1 tbsp after every meal, 3 times a day. Fennel helps to remove gas & acid reflux. You can also search about psyllium husk powder, it helps to clear the colon. These are all natural. I personally found diet plays a big role in eliminating the symptoms. Check a book called, Listen To Your Gut. You may find it useful to manage your diet.
