Hey everyone,

I'm in my latest IBS funk. Diarrhea on and off for a weeks. I've had good days but some bad too. Rationally it's classic IBS, but what has bothered me for all those years is how can you be sure. Should I test the living daylight out of myself, or assume this is IBS? For me once I have sudden weightloss or blood in my poo I will go to the doc, but on bad days I have doubts and want to reassure myself?
I have been tested before on something else, those 3 months of uncertainty were hell, I don't want to experience that again.

How do you judge it for yourself? To test or not to test?
