I understand the down line very much. Worry is now a part of who I am. All my tests say I am fine.
First change I made was to drink 2 litres of water per day and switch cake for yoghurt.
After an an episode I need to sleep for a good 3-4 hours re: lack of energy.

Try taking a multi bacterial supplement. There are some really good ones. The more different types of good bacteria the better. Take them for 12 weeks and then just when your system is out of kilter.
Find ways to destress. I crochet but you can meditate or what you ever you find best to relax.
Hope this helps.

My symptoms were worse before diagnosis which took three and a half months and eight doctors. I was consumed with panic because no test came up with anything and doctors were baffled.

It seems that I have the same pain like yours. Would you tell me How did the dr diagnose you with IBS. What were your symptopms. It's been two years that I'm suffering colon pain. But mine is not in the lower part of the abdomen but it is in the upper left side exactly in the part the the colon bends. It burns, the burning goes down to the anus and effects my spinal cord like I feel the burning there too and pressure around the tail bone as well it vibrates and the pain sometimes goes to the back. Sometime I feel pressure in the anus area like when I want to go to restroom. The pressure stays for few days the stops but burning and pain is always there in the colon. During the last two years I had constipation not dierieiah. The constipation was sever hard little balls with pain. But recently I've got better but the burning and the pain is still there. But from level 10 is at constant 3.
I've had two different stool tests to see if there is blood in the stool but thankfully there were not. I had ctscan done but it was before the colon pain and the dr told he doesn't want to expose me to more radiation. Many blood works. The only thing that I haven't done is clonoscopy which I am terrified to do. I don't like to be put to sleep and the only drug that they use recently is propofol.
Does anyone have the same pain?
By the way none of the Drs that I went to could not find what's wrong. Unless I do the clonoscopy.
Please help
