Non-Believers

I have been struggling with IBS for a few years now. I went to many doctors, had many tests done and the end result is it seemed that most of them thought I was crazy. That my symptoms were only from anxiety. One doctor did end up telling me I had IBS. I had to figure out what I could eat and what I could not. I am still learning. I take daily probiotic and started taking peppermint oil capsules for the bloating and gas. So far the peppermint pills have helped. I just wish that more people would understand IBS and what people have to go through on a daily basis.
