I dont know if I have IBS yet because Doctor is USELESS!! daying there nothing wrong with me and give me some laxatives which should sort me out! I dont want to keep taking it forever.. I have been what you called Constipation for years.. sometime with pain sometime no pain.. thats for 15 years and I do feel bloated, especially when i eat food like some bread, most pasta and milk... what test do you take to confirm you have IBS??

Most of us have an abdominal ultrasound, colonoscopy, abdominal CT scan and extensive blood work to rule out other problems. Some have other tests such as an endoscopy (upper GI). I am surprised that foods that bread and pasta cause you trouble when you are not gluten allergic??? It may be that the bread is high in high fructose corn syrup (most store bought bread does contain this). Also if you eat pasta with cream sauces the dairy in the cream sauces may be the problem. I can't eat too much tomato sauce so that may be a problem for you too. I am D instead of C but even before you get your tests you should read as much on this web site as possible and try to follow the diet. Keep us posted on your progress. -------------------- IBS-D, Gas & Bloating Barbara50 Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
