IBS symptoms
So I have all the symptoms of IBS-C. I went to a GI and we did blood test and a CT Scan. Im worried about Colon Cancer but my doctor thinks the CT and Blood work were good enough to go ahead and call it IBS and no need for a colonoscopy. Im a 26 year old Male I live with constipation sometimes Diaherrea ribbon pebble and pencil size stools no blood from what I can tell and When I get a severe attack the pain is a 10/10 like passing out pain. My question is do you think my gi is right should I just not get a colonoscopy?

Hi.... Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines.
Take care with dairy products. If you're lactose intolerant, try substituting yogurt for milk. Or use an enzyme product to help break down lactose. Consuming small amounts of milk products or combining them with other foods also may help.
