So many of you have been so supportive to this newbie, so I just wanted to thank you first, it means so much to not be alone...OK...just got back from a very reputable GI doctor, he looked at the tests I have had so far and read my symptoms ( I wrote them all down because I was so nervous!!)Then he basically told me I had IBS.. ??? He did examine my belly, but that was it. Is that ok?Oh, he gave me antispasmatics to take for the next few weeks and said I was a very nervous person and basically I fit all the criteria for IBS.. even though I don't have the C or D.. just all the other great stuff. He was very pleasant and listened.. but how come I feel unsatisfied? He did not even bring up a colonoscopy??? How come? I am looking for trouble? But I know how I feel.. oh, he said "if it was something bad it would not go away and come back and forth".. huh? Well, I have been feeling bad for 2 months and just have had slight improvement over the past few days but I know it is not all over??Confused!!!Thanks for listening!!
