I usaully don't drink the amount they tell you. I think it is four glasses. I would only drink three. My sister and I were pregnant at the same time, our kids are two and half months apart and six days apart, so we always made jokes about the water we had to drink. She has three kids and with her first they told her, her bladder was too full and to go just a little. She said she was thinking how can I do that. She did and felt a little better.

Hi - Your doc really could not have properly diagnosed you like that. At a minimum, you need some bloodwork, and depending on some other factors you may need scope work as well. And, your symptoms have to fit the Rome II diagnostic criteria for IBS.
For diagnosis details and tests, check here web page
For Rome II criteria, check here web page
Best,

Angela - I had an ultrasound done once a long time ago and I drank all the water I was supposed to (and then some, too). By the time I got to the table and the "male nurse" was getting ready to spread all that goo all over my tummy, I was in such agony because I had to go. I asked him if I could let some out and he let me (I really had to beg and promise I would only "go" a little). It was enough to relieve the pressure (I guess it's kinda like filling up a balloon with water to the point of bursting--it's gotta hurt a bit!)
Don't be bashful about asking if you can let some out.
