Update
I had to go back to the hospital last night because the pain in my bowel was excruciating. They gave some pain meds but nothing helped. They ended up keeping my all night and then I saw my gastroenterologist this morning. He ordered a cat scan. He said the colonscopy went well and he saw no polyps or disease. So it is irritable bowel. He put me on a medicine called detenil. You take it three times a day and it helps control the pain and other symptoms. The cat scan came back okay except he mentioned I had fibroids and to follow up with the family doctor. I am glad to be home.

I also suffer with I.B.S. - I have problems with diaharea (sorry cannot spell it) - I find that anything I eat at a resturant or cafeteria that is fried or if it has 'artifical flavorings' or preservatives in it causes mine. I take my pill about 30 minutes before I eat - Only have to take it if I don't cook myself - P-nut butter causes me a lot of pain - When you have problems write down and keep tract of what you have eaten - good luck - You are in my prayers.
Ohhh...hope you feel better soon...

Hi Claire, sorry to hear you are in so much pain, but glad they have checked things for you so quickly. My mom was thought to be IBS for years, but when finally they really checked things out, found she has diverticulitis, which there were loads of things she could have been doing to keep her comfortable. Rest up and get well soon.
