Tummy Trouble

I was diagnosed with IBS in high school and some days are good and some bad. Lately they have been bad. It started with bad stomach cramps last Sunday then I was up all night with diareah. Monday I had stomach cramps so bad I thought I wanna gonna die. I had to take a Xanax. After I calmed down I realized the cramps were on the left side and the gallbladder and appendix are on the right. So I was good as far as those went. Tuesday I felt better but Wednesday I felt worse and Thursday too. All night I was up with cramps. Thursday I could barely sit up straight because my left side felt so bloated and full. It was like my stomach was not sending the food to my intestines and it was all just sitting there. I made an appointment with my Dr for Friday. I had to finagal 2 1/2 hours off for that too. Naturally I was feeling better by the time I got to the appointment. Just like when you take a car to the mechanic and it stops making that noise. My stomach was still a lil cramps and I told I felt better but knew the pain would come back. She suggested I may have Celia disease which is common in people who were diagnosed with IBS. Celiac disease is an allergy to gluten found in wheat, barley and rye. Since wheat is in almost everything it really limits the foods one can eat. So she had me take a blood test to see. Since this was Friday and the test results would not be in until Monday that left me with the whole weekend to contemplate what one eats on a gluten free diet.
