I'd go for a number of reasons:
- As Snorkie says, you really need to know for sure if this is IBS so do the tests and then you know once and for all. - Also, if you feel better since eliminating grains from your diet, I really think you need to be tested for celiac - this is nothing to mess around with (as we all know from this week's episode of "House"). - A specialist can help with prescription meds like anti-spasmodics if you need them. - Once you're a specialist's patient it should be relatively easy for you to get back in to see him again if you need him in a hurry. If you're a new patient when you need help fast, you will probably have to wait longer.
