One of the specilists told me that There is no test for IBS and its just rulling out everything else. I had a colonoscapy years ago (00-02?), they said that I probably had IBS (this is before they found Adhesions in 2003). A friend recently had a colonoscapy and he was told they found evidence of IBS? Do they have one now?

Adhesions do cause bloating and pain. I suffer from Adhesion Disease and have had several surgeries for it. I was diagnosed with IBS when they couldn't find the cause of my problems when it was actually the Adhesions. It seems drs. tell a lot of people that they have IBS when in fact they don't.

Hi,
some of your pain may be due to irritable bowel syndrome, try giving up dairy and wheat for 4 weeks , it will definately help with the bloating
