We do have to know our own bodies even better than the docs, and we have to be our own advocates in order to be able to communicate what's going on with our bodies so our docs know the best way to help. Plus, I also had to do a lot of research and experimentation BH (Before Heather 
) because I knew my docs at the time just didn't have experience using diet to help IBS. My first doc told me "3 times the fiber, 3 times the exercise." I was only 17 or 18, so I was like three times what? Where do I start? What do I do? But she just repeated her little mantra. I've learned to go into a doctor's office PREPARED and ready to ask a million questions. I write up my symptoms, meds and other treatments I've tried, because I know I might get emotional and forget important points. Since then I've found a doctor I trust, who explains things to me and, most importantly, wno listens.
