Firstly you need to have a colonoscopy done by your gastro to make sure you don't have any polyps. I was diagnosed finally for sure about 2 months ago. That time I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy, I had previously had a gastroscopy on it's own, had my gall bladder checked for stones, ultrasounds, barium meals, x-rays, I was checked for endometriosis and quite a few other things that I just can't think of at this second.
I also don't fit the Rome II guidelines, I have upper abdominal pain often, but I do get the lower pain as well. I also have a lot of weight loss and suffer from anemia a lot. There are other things that don't fit also.
See your doc again, tell him/her you are really worried that it's more than IBS as you don't fit the criteria and push for some more tests. If all comes back clear it will be IBS. Hope this has helped and made you feel slightly less ignored.
