I have found that IBS people keep asking the same questions of other IBS sufferers about tests to document their condition and seemingly are at a loss to learn much beyond what their practitioners say. These days we need to take care of our own personal health, as doctors seemingly know very little and whip out prescription pads. Good nutrition (tolerable to any specific individual) is key to getting a grip on their own symtoms.
IBS is a pan diagnosis, and the cause is different for most everyone. Some things some people need to avoid is not necessarily what others need to avoid. This can be a slow (personal) trial and error thing to rule out what aggravates their personal triggers.
Do claim power over your own body! Doctors and prescriptions are of little or no help if the patient takes control of their eating habits and introducing faithfully simple soluable fiber and supplements.
FIRST, one has to stabilize their own 'gut'. Next, they can slowly start introducing other foods one at a time... and do give such a reasonable time-frame as there can be somewhat delayed reactions. It doesn't always happen immediately nor overnight.
What works for another might very well NOT work for you! It is a totally individual path that needs guidance, not necessarily relay tests and further medical diagnoses after the initial colonoscopy.
We all need to find our own working path with this condition and share our successes.
You just absolutely cannot go wrong with Heather's products while you stabilize and start from scratch seeing from there what you can or cannot easily tolerate in the way of foods, and still be well nourished. This exploration doesn't happen overnight, and one thing at a time works best.
