Hi - your doc sounds great. He's right, IBS is a type of "non-diagnosis", in that it can only be diagnosed after test results for everything that can mimic it come back negative. And it's absolutely crucial that he knows your symptoms are changing and expanding, especially into the upper GI area. This could well point to another problem, and he'll know better what to look for the more info you give him. He won't question your sanity, he'll be happy to have the info he needs to figure out what's really going on here.
