Hi - I think your concerns are really valid. If your son doesn't have red flag symptoms (fever, join swelling or pain, non-abdominal symptoms like skin or eye problems, passing blood) my guess is that it would be just fine to delay testing until the doc and insurance situation is settled.

And I'd totally agree with you to avoid the doc who didn't know that IBS can be constipation-predominant (huh?!) or that IBS can occur in children (double huh?!). It's never good to know more than your doctor about the very fundamentals of an illness you may be dealing with.
