Do you think i should go to the doctor if i suspect irritable bowel syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other serious causes need to be ruled out bfore diagnosing someone with ibs. I would recommend referral to a GI doc for the workup.
