A member asked:
Could acid reflux be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything can be: Misdiagnosed. Acid reflux is easy to confirm with a barium swallow/upper GI xray. Irritable bowel should be a diagnosis of exclusion, that is all other causes of your symptoms need to be ruled out by proper diagnostic testing.
