Kelly, it sounds like IBS. But you should be entitled to have other tests run.
All GIs go to the same School Of Idiots. As soon as they realize your problem is IBS, they know there's nothing they can do for you and there's no possibility that they'll get any surgery out of you ($$$$), so they show you the door and turn to the next victim. And so on and so on....
We've all been exposed to this excuse for medical care, whether it's in Canada or the U.S. It's the same School.
The good news is that you now know you don't have any life-threatening problem and there are no polyps, cancer, etc. That should be a relief to you. It was to me. While I haven't seen my GI since, and he even refused to prescribe any meds for me, I am grateful to know the final results: I have IBS and diverticulosis. Now it's time for me to get my meds from my regular doc, and if I need a GI in the future, I'll have my regular doc find me someone else.
2-3 months sounds like a long time, I know, but it's really not, provided you find someone you like -- you'll have him for a long time. Hang in there.
