I haven't taken any of those specialized tests, but my doctor has run all the traditional ones, and concluded confidently that I do not have IBD, at least the traditional IBD. My specific question was the efficacy of the low inflammation diet on IBS symptoms if indeed they were caused in part by inflammation. The replies answered that question by in essence saying "It could, but only if your IBS tolerates the things you need to eat to help you." In my personal case, fruits and veggies seem to be ok in small quantities, and for some strange reasons mushrooms (I even tried microwaving them, so no oil) are not. I haven't had a problem with fatty fish. I do not take supplements.
It will take me some time to go over all the links presented but thanks for the responses. I wish science moved at a faster pace. Having to wait 5 years after a treatment or idea is invented to have it tested and all is a horrible situation, because even if a cure was invented today, the earliest any of us would benefit is 5 years from now.
