Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

I started out with symptoms in 1988. Of course doctors want to pin it on something else. I had, had mild endomitriotris in the past, so the docs said it had to be that. The had also done some other scans, and a hepatobiliary scan. I kept asking if my gallbladder could be involved, the said no, i didn't meet the criteria...fair, fat and 40. The next week i had a part. hyst. Guess what? that wasn't it! ...this is really too long of story..i'm sure you catch my drift
