[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had IBS since my 20s. I’ve cut out all dairy, alcohol, and sugar. Tried going gluten free but it didn’t make a difference so I added it back. I’ve been on elimination diets on and off for 30 years including low-FODMAP to no avail. But I suspect I haven’t been rigid enough and because my condition is such a part of me, I’m not objective anymore about my symptoms. I’ve never had a solid poop, I’m always bloated and uncomfortable, and I can’t schedule morning activities due to bathroom issues. My Vitamin D levels are dangerously low (11-12) despite supplementation and osteoporosis is looming.

I’ve had colonoscopies, endoscopies, and CTs out the wazoo. I’m on Lexapro for anxiety. I’ve got a referral for a new GI doc specializing in IBS. I think I could use a good dietician and I’m about to start another elimination diet. What else can I do???

If you have managed IBS successfully, what helped you? Any dietician recommendations?[/quote]

Are by chance not able to burp (Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction)? I ask because it can be misdiagnosed as IBS[/quote]
