IBS or IBD
Sir/madam , I am suffering from diarrhea since 8-9 months , Recently doctor had done colonoscopy everything was normal & doctor prescribed me some medicines . But they dint worked , after that doctor prescribed me CT enterography (IBD protocol) but I have done CT enterography. After showing results doctor said that he said IBD protocol why you have done normal one . & he prescribed me rifaxmin 550 mg . Now after 3 days I am feeling well but I am feeling anxiety & thinking all day about it that I have IBD . But I want to perform CT scan again for my anxiety but CT scan has more radiation. How many months should I wait for another CT scan. Does going for more CT scans are dangerous

CT SCAN has high amount of radiation exposure. And also repeat ct would not give any additional information. There is no need for REPEAT ct scan.
Next Steps
IBD IBS CAN be very well controlled by a good diet.

If u have already undergone colonoscopy and Ct scan which are both apparently normal no need to undergo further CT as per IBd protocol as it would not really change the line of treatment u have to follow with good treatment and diet
