I guess you just like to fight. If that's what you want it's ok with me, I won't object.
What troubles me is your inaccurate and misleading posts with constant backtracking by including new caveats to the original in subsequent posts. At least 3 come to mind:
1. Not advising that barley grass powder is high in IF in the original post.
2. Advising Cipro to treat parasites.
3. Insisting that a colonoscopy is neccessary to diagnose ibs even though The Rome criteria don't require it.
4. There are others.
Please be careful about what you post. Thanks.
Cheers.

To be honest with you, Capricorn, a colonoscopy is the FIRST thing I had done. It may not be necessary nor the Rome criteria require it, but it certainly gave me peace of mind. Along with having the peace of mind to know I did not have cancer, I also found out I did not have colitis, diverticulitis, etc. So, for me it was well worth it. I personally think it should be done, regardless if it is required or deemed necessary. But that is IMHO.

I agree with you about the importance of a colonoscopy. I've had it done 3 times over the past 10 years. But that was not the issue as stated in my post.
Anyway, thank you for your important comments about colonoscopy.
Cheers.

And although both grandparents died of colon cancer, my GI doc says it isn't necessary until you are older since they are more hazard to IBS than help. That is only if IBS runs in your family (or genes  ) and you are a classic case.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I don't know about mind-body connection and the coccyx, but if I hurt my tailbone I would grab the stool softeners ASAP, eat safe foods, drink a lot and try to not take pain killers.

It detects more than colon cancer and I had one at 28 and glad I did. Then you can rule out other serious disorders, not necessarily just cancer. I rest more comfortable with an IBS DX when I know other serious disorders are ruled out.
