That's what my mom suggested to the dr. and he said that all stomach disorders are being lumped together in the "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" category...which is stupid, because its now all I hear whenever I'm in pain.

It doesn't make sense that I'm still in pain after adjusting my diet and getting rid of stress. I've never had this pain before...how can it just be IBS?

I'm sorry for venting, I'm just frustrated.

Thank you for your concern and kindness.
