My GP told me today you can have IBS without constipation or diarrhoea. I think he's talking rubbish? Is that possible?

Thanks

    I've had a great message from Pippa, thanks Pippa.

    My question still stands. Has anybody had IBS without C or D?

    Thanks

    I personally have IBS with BOTH. My grandma also have IBS but she doesn't have either. She can still get diarrhea or constipation sometimes but there is also IBS abdominal pain predominate. That means someone doesn't get a lot of changes in bowel habits but gets a lot of pain. However, I'm not sure. Just telling you my grandma's IBS.
