Mebverine and Librax prescribed

In last 6 months I had 2-3 incidents of severe stomach ache/cramps which were unbearable. I consulted with a gastroenterologist and he diagnosed it as IBS (i believe, he didn't tell specifically though). He has prescribed me Mebverine and Librax.

Now the question arises that I do not suffer from cramps/aches on daily basis. They occur randomly..once in 2-3 months. In normal routine i feel fine, only discomfort that i feel is fullness after having only less quantity of food and mild flatulence.

    Hi Timmy, I suggest you try the tablets you have been prescribe. If, there is no improvement seek advice from a another doctor.

    Dear Timmy

    It sounds as if you dont have much faith in the gastro man.   Was his diagnosis based on proper examination?  I think a colonoscopy might be required to provide a definate diagnosis.   

    Can anyone advise us on how important it is to have a colonoscopy to diagnose IBS correctly?

    There are specialist clinics around to help with ibs and they should be able to be definate.

      I have heard that a colonoscopy is the only way to be sure that you have ibs and not some other condition.   I dont know if this is true.    What country are you in?

      From what I've read here there are too many doctors who are quick to voice an uninformed opinion instead of looking for facts.

      Cheers

      Graham
