Has anyone heard about the new blood test for ibs, & ibs producing toxins?this worries me with my ibs & cdiff history!any input is appreciated!

IBS blood test: IBS diagnosis is made simply by history and exam. Although Prometheus Lab offers a blood test that consists of inflammatory markers, I would not consider this test to be accurate or necessary. There are no toxins produced with IBS. After having a C. diff infection some patients may develop IBS. This is called post-infectious IBS.
