Tootsie, you need to have a colonoscopy to rule out IBDs, etc. This is an essential part of the elimination process by which IBS is diagnosed. Can you see if you can see the specialist earlier or get a colonsocopy beforehand?

Until you've got a definite diagnosis, then you don't even know that the diet could help.

Have you cut out general triggers like coffee, carbonated drinks, etc? What about herbal teas - have you tried these? Fennel is great for bloating and I've found Chamomile really helpful. Heather swears by peppermint.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you are doing.
