You symptoms don't sound atypical for someone with IBS.

It isn't unusual for some with IBS to have symptoms such as pain when their colon is empty. Fasting isn't a clinically used method for managing IBS symptoms and it is not guaranteed to alleviate IBS symptoms.

Dairy is a known IBS trigger. Undigested food in the stool is also common in IBS due to problems with GI tract motility.

Yellow stool is not unusual and it could indicative of a higher than normal GI motility frequently occuring in individuals with IBS. If you care concerned it is something you should talk to your doctor about.

If you think your GI doc gave you an improper diagnosis why don't you get a second opinion from another GI doctor?
