After another trip to the dr over tummy pains he has said he thinks I have IBS. They are going to do some blood tests to rule out other stuff but he didn't give me any ideas about what I should be doing in the mean time. Should I try to change my diet? I already cut out caffine to see if it would help, don't know if it did really. What else should I be doing?

I get bad pain in mu upper tummy, feel bloated and get bad wind. Sometimes I get diarrhea and sometimes I feel constipated. The pain has been pretty much non stop these last few days. I can't seem to link it to anything in particualr - one day I eat something and I feel fine the next day my tummy is sore.
