Ibs?

Hi, im 18 and i was diagnosed with ibs 6 years ago. In the past year my symptoms have flared up really bad so i have had tests done. I had a pillcam that showed inflammation and red marks in my small bowel, a barium meal that has shown thickening of the small bowel and a gastrosopy showing gastritis. My colonoscopy came back as normal.

Is this typical of IBS?

thanks

It can be a typical problem. IBS is such a diverse and giant grey area it seems everything on the planet can fit into it in some way. What did the gastroenteroilogist think?

No, this is not typical of IBS.  I would recomend talking to your doctor about these results and what they could possibly be.
