I have never been diagnosed with ibs. After having my son 9 months ago I started having symptoms. I came across this website during my research of trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I started Heathers diet and ever since can at least live a semi normal life. I finally am able to get insurance after all these months of being without. I can go directly to a specialist if I want. The question I have is...if I go in and say I have been having these symptoms for 9 months is the insurance even going to cover my colonoscopy etc? THis is so crazy! Can I tell the doctor "off the record" how long it has really been. Otherwise I feel stupid just waiting a couple of months then telling some doctor it has only been happening that long. He probably won't take me seriously or daignose me correctly. I didn't know if any of you all have been in this situation. Any thoughts would help?
