Hello, thank you for taking my questions. Since the middle of june, I was in the ER for what was determined to be a panicPanic disorder Panic disorder with agoraphobia attack. It seems since then, although I don't have the anxiety any more, my bowel movements have been off. I now go anywhere from 2-5 times a day, mostly in the morning, once right upon waking, and maybe a few times after that.
So I saw a cardiologist about a seperate issue, and told him about my intestinal issues - be put me on Librax, twice a day, and for four or five straight days - it was a miracle, I saw normal movements once again, once, maybe twice a day. Now....the past three days and counting, I am right back to where I was before - still on the librax, but all of a sudden, its like it stopped working. This has me totally confused. I think the reason my doctor is hesitant on the IBS conclusion is that I don't really have that much pain, its more of a slight cramping, only some of the time.
The only thing I haven't undergone it seems is a colonoscopy, due to no health insurance at the moment. Should I concede this being IBS, and get on a reccommened plan to try to correct it, or should explore further testing?
