Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS usually is diagnosed after bowel disease has been ruled out. Your doctor will
probably take a complete medical history, do a physical exam, and check for blood in your
stool. Other diagnostic tests such as blood tests, x-rays or a colonoscopy
(viewing the colon through a flexible tube inserted through the anus) may be done if
needed.
