Nature of disease: Irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is notorious for changeable symptoms. Some people have more problems when stressed, some only after the stress is resolved. Changes in diet, medications, daily routine can all alter symptoms. You've been wise to be tested for ibd and celiac disease, as ibs is a diagnosis of exclusion. Work with your doctor on management- it's an ongoing process. Hang in there!
