I don't know to much my guesses would be that if they are planning to do some blood work there or maybe they want to feel your stomach or intestines without too much in them.

I would be tempted to phone the docotors office in the morning and check with them why or if they made a mistake about what to do before your appointment. Also make sure to tell them the situation and how you react to the heat and and not eating. It almost sounds like a mix up!

Unfortunately we really need to speak up to our doctors and ask questions. If something sounds strange or not right it is your right to ask about it and ask again if you are still confused and then if you don't like what they have to say see some one else. I think a lot of IBS people have problems with doing this.

I find that I started to have IBS because I didn't stand up and speak when I was upset so my body decieded to express itself because the emotions I needed to get out where being bottled up.

Anywho I have my yearly exams and paps and that has never been said to me ever! And i've been checked regularly lately for cancer cause of changes in my cells and had some biopsies and have paps every 6 months for the last 6 years and they have never told me to fast.

Hope it works out for you and if you wouldn't mind letting me know cause i'm curious now for the reasoning behind it.
