IBS? Please read, at my wits end...

Since September I have been having abdominal discomfort.  I have had hemoccult test, ultrasound, BE, CT scans, blood and liver enzyme tests and all are negative or normal.  Somedays I feel great others I don't.  The discomfort is mostly around my lower right/left ribs.  I have a lot of gas.  No blood in my stools, no mucus either.  However, today I noticed an "oil slick" in the bowl after a movement and now I am a little worried.  I can't say I have the best diet, in fact yesterday I didn't eat well at all.  When I am thinking of something stressful or doing something stressful the pain seems to come on.  Sometimes I HAVE to go the bathroom soon or else however I don't have much of the constipation/diarhea.  My stools are normal sized and until today I hadn't noticed any oil.  It hasn't gotten any worse, in fact since I started accupuncture it has gotten better. I am also on probiotics as well.  I have an appointment with a GI on the 6th of Jan but that seems so far away....I am so frustrated...

Are you male or female?  Age?  

    Are you willing to "do anything" to get better?  
  
   I would recommend stop wasting your money on acupuncture.  That is my personal opinion only.  

   If you would simply cut out most of the fats from your diet you would feel better.  This means no french fries or potato chips.  Eat some plain, natural food.  

   Good luck with your new doctor.
