I assume you're talking about an endoscopy. You really do need to get a firm diagnosis and hopefully your doctor will give you one after he completes his tests.

From your response to someone else's post, it sounds like you're IBS-A, tending toward D, with bloating. My advice is still the same: read Heather's "The First Year - IBS" so you understand what IBS is and to make sure your doctors have done all the necessary tests to rule out other conditions (including gynecological if you're female). Once you understand what Heather is saying, I don't see any reason you can't start her diet and SFS. If you do turn out to have IBS you'll be ahead of the game. And check out Heather's information about herbal teas. Many people find fennel very helpful for bloating.

HTH.
