Re: how to get a doctor to take you seriously?       04/16/07 10:06 AM Edit Reply Quote para1 Reged: 02/20/07 Posts: 9 I went to two internest who both said I have IBS. I finally went to a GI and he too says I have IBS. I asked him about doing tests but he doesn't feel they are necessary. He did bloodwork and that was all fine. After talking about my symptoms he said I am textbook IBS and too young to go through more invasive tests. He was actually pushing on my abdomen last week while examining me and said he could feel the stool in my intestines and actually move it. I don't know if I should be more insistent on tests or keep following the diet which seems to help. I figured if it was something else then the diet might not help Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
