Hello,

My husband is forty and also very healthy. Blood work and labs all came back as normal. We were told that the insurance company would not pay for a colonoscopy if it were for an IBS finding. You had to have something wrong like blood in the stool for example.

Maybe that's what happened to you. I agree with your friend - not to worry. But I know that Heather says that you can't say for certain that you have IBS without that test.

My husband did have one this week, we are to call in a week for the final results. But the feedback from the Dr. was everything checked out as as normal - as we expected. Now we can move forward - even though we did not want this test. For us the Drs. were not willing to just say yes you have IBS.

Good luck to you!
