Please Help Me - Doctors don't seem to know how to help me.

I have had IBS for four years and when it acts up, which is pretty much two weeks of every month. When the pain comes back I end up in the hospital and no one there seems to know where my pain is coming from and doesn't know what to do to help. I am at a loss, I do my best to eat right, I exercise when I have energy, but I am constantly in pain. In the mornings I wake up with sever pain in my back below the ribs, I get neausa all the time and can't function. I go atlest 4 times a day if not more, and it isn't diahera. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to eat, because everything causes a problem? I need help!!!! or I might end up lonely and stuck in bed.

Have you been to a specialist recently? Don't accept pain! Keep asking questions until you have your answers. Also, pain becomes a disease in and of itself. I personally have no tolerance for doctors who don't want to address pain. Hang in there!

What happens is that you have food intolerances and then after its in your system, then no matter what you eat hurts and causes problems. You need to start an elimination diet. For me the culprits were gluten and dairy and I can't have them or my symptoms return for days or even weeks
