What are other things to check for with ibs symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everything else!: The GI tract has a very limited # of symptoms to signal its distress--nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation, bloating, pain, fullness, bleeding, etc. As you know, many of these characterize ibs, but are also seen with inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, malabsorptive, and functional disorders. Directed lab work, imaging, biopsies, stool studies are appropriate in excluding non-ibs pathology.

Why don't they check for SIBO with every patient who has IBS? The symptoms are similar. I had to find about it myself and see an outside doctor.
Hi... I'm super concerned I've got neuropathy as I seem to have increasing symptoms, especially of autonomic. I've been checked for diabetes and thyroid problems. I do have IBS and anxiety. Maybe autoimmune caused by "leaky gut"? I don't know?
Ive had IBS symptoms for years now, and a year ago I was sent for tests to rule out other things, and they came back negative. A year on, could the same symptoms now be a cause of something more sinister?
OK so... I have scoliosis... and a fair few mild but worsening neurological symptoms and also IBS and other things. Could scoliosis be the root cause of all of it? The spinal cord seems to give signals to almost everything. Thanks! ?
Can IBS change to something else? Years ago had the classic symptoms but they changed as i got older. From my 30`s to 40`s.
