Went to see my gastroenterologist today. He suggested some treatment options for my IBS-D.

The first thing he said was to take a fiber supplement once a day for two weeks then bump it up to twice a day after that. He also agreed that going gluten free would be worth a shot, as would avoiding dairy milk. However he wants to confirm that it's not pancreas related or gut bacteria overgrowth so I'll be doing some tests for those. Finally he may prescribe some medication depending on the results of the tests and depending on how the fiber supplement works.

I just hope I'm finally getting somewhere with treatment.
