Hi, - It's such a shame that the diagnosis process can be so long and not yield the answers you need. I thought you might be interested to read more about the diagnostic criteria that's used to help diagnosis IBS: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/clinical/new-rome-iv-diagnostic-criteria/. If you're not getting the answers you need, getting a second opinion from another doctor could be something to look into. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences. Hope you're having a good day. - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team
