Ummmm this doctor sounds like a fool too me, and sounds like you had an experience a lot of people have had on here all too often. This really bugs me because you can't "officially" be diagnosed with IBS without ruling out other things. I don't think you did anything wrong on your part and I hope your daughter is truly grateful to have such a caring mom like you! You sound like a wonderful mom I just wish that this silly doctor would have been just a LITTLE more interested and helpful. I REALLY think it would be wise to try another doc. You and your daughter both need someone who really cares and can offer you some sound advice.
