I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I know a lot of people here have, myself included. I wonder if it's because doctors feel really frustrated by IBS since they know there's not a whole lot they can do for us medically. Maybe they just don't realize it would help a lot simply to be listened to, even if there are no magic pills available.
You may already have seen this, but there's a thread on good IBS doctors. You might dig through it and see if there's one anywhere near you. On the other hand, if you've had all the tests you should, trust your Primary Care Physician, and are being helped by Heather's diet, you may not need a GI guy right now.
HTH.
