Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I went to the doctor back in March and was told I either have IBS or Gallbladder problems. I went and had test for gallbladder issues and all came back normal. The doctor told me to do a food diary and when doing this I found foods that I can not eat and thing got better and the doctor told me to just keep that up. Form that I assumed that I had IBS. Now I do not hav sever issus like I have read about. Though I have food I can no longer tolerate and if I do eat them the next day I make trip after trip to the bathroom until it passes. It is not normally diareha but every now and then I will have a small bit of it but normally unnormal moevement and quite frequent. I have started to take probiotics and in the last week digestive enzymes. I have days where things seem normal and days that morning I am in and out of the bathroom. So i guess my question is do I really have IBS even though I do not have diahrea all the time and I do not get contipated??? I have read alot of things on this site to help but frankley afraid to try some thing since I am not sure from the Docor that I have IBS. Help so I can get this resolved and do what needed to keep my stomach calm.
