but maybe someone else can help you out.
I'm glad some of my other advice seems helpful. Good move getting your thyroid checked. The other thing that popped into my head is getting your gall bladder checked.
As for finding another doctor, remember you can go east to Boston or west to Albany (if my geography serves me correctly). Presumably you can go north or south, too, but we're now way past the limits of my geography. I know it's unpleasant to travel out of a comfort zone, but it might be worth a trip or two to make sure what you've got is IBS. If there are no doctors that work for you in the good docs thread, I suggest you do a new post asking specifically for a doctor recommendation in your area and saying how far you're willing to travel - that kind of request can get buried in a thread like this.
IBS is tough, but you've got stuff to try to make it better. Give it some time, effort, and dedication.
Take care. I hope you start feeling better soon.
