Hi there. I am in the process of being diagnosed with IBS. Have had continuous discomfort for 8 weeks. Have had blood and stool test, all clear so no ‘red markers’ Will be having CT Scan shortly. No diarrhoea but often constipated. Totally changed my diet. Following Low FODMAP diet and gluten free bread/milk etc. Is the length of this discomfort usual? I am very stressed at this moment due to family issues and worrying about my condition. Often find myself holding my breath due to discomfort.
