Hi Rocco589,
I would think in terms of only irritable bowel syndrome.
I would suggest the following tests for you if at all you want tests to
be done.
1. Colonoscopy
2. Motion examination

I was told at one point that I had irritable bowel but that was not from going through tests. I have not had any tests other than a pelvic sonar and I had that laproscopy to remove cysts and endometrious (sp) would any thing else have been able to be detected with that laproscopy?
Are there any other diseases that you can think of that I may have? are there any other tests that you think I should be asking for?
Thank you for the advice
Hi rocco589,
You have been told that you have irritable bowel syndrome-
Upper GI and colonoscopy usually do not show any abnormalities in IBS patients.
But if you dont want to take any chance or miss something inside then you can undergo virtual colonoscopy. This way you can avoid the conventional colonoscopy.
Gall bladder problems can be picked up by sonography. Bowel problems usually not picked up well by sonography.
You discuss with your physician whether you really need all these.
