Becca, welcome to the boards. As others have said, don't worry about sound negative. We all get down once and a while... not feeling well will do that to you! Your symptoms certainly sound like IBS, but you're very smart to be looking into other doctors and getting it diagnosed for sure. That's something you should always do, because the symptoms can be so similar to other problems like Crohns and Colitis. As for your symptoms changing over time, mine have definitely done that too. For a while I was having diarhea, and now that I've start controling my diet and avoiding triggers I'm back to the constipation that's plagued me most of my life. Plus my bloating and gas is constantly changing locations, etc. I guess that's just part of the condition. Good luck with your upcoming appointment at the University of Washington, and I hope you get diagnosed for sure soon! Feel free to post here with whatever questions you might have!
