Hello, so recently I have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, although the gastroentologist thinks I have "ibs" and that I get constipated all the time, but in all truths I just get constipated now once in a while, most of my stool is fine until I get abdominal discomfort that turns into tightness.
So, as said before, my main symptom is....ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT... as this occurs non stop, there will be moments that last for seconds to minutes where I'm ok, but no matter what that discomfort returns to haunt me.
It then turns into tightness and a bad feeling, that becomes gooey, foggy, stool that is a lot. But mostly normal amounts of passing stool, maybe too much.
Ok, but anyways, to my point. I just need to know how to make these symptoms just go for atleast a few months... instead of having these symptoms go for minutes, I want them to go for DAYS TO MONTHS!!!!
I want to be able to go on a holiday with no symptoms (as I will be soon and I know it's going to haunt me no matter what) and live life without symptoms for a bit, because I miss those moments of freedom 
I'm sick of having this and I will be honest and say I wish things would go back to when I was better.
Thank you and please if anyone knows how to atleast help me, please reply.
Thank you

Hi Jonathan! What tests were made before they diagnosed IBS? How long have you been suffering ? I'm on my 3 months of abdominal pain and know how desperate and helpless you feel.

Blood tests
Ultrasounds
X-rays
And colonoscopy as last one

Me too, once you're diagnosed you'll be able to do what I did a few weeks ago and go to Spain on 1, yes I did say 1 medication. Try to be diagnosed you'll get abroad, I did you can.

Yeah, I started all this when I was 25 I'm 30 now, it started with gerds then gastritis ,now ibs, well anyways I have days where I feel supper backed up and then again sometimes I have runny times, I take pepcid ,and I just started these schiff digestive advantage probiotic gummies ,anyways I had my first normal bm I have had in probably a month or so, it was amazing , it also says to take more than two if you have lots of grumbling and discomfort, I would give them a try and make sure your eating the appropriate amount of food , that's how I have to eat now ,but I don't have pain anymore , mostly just gas, cause you never no what food is going to give it to you.

But that the problem, I am not stressed, well atleast I don't feels stressed, and the symptoms such as gas occur at random. So that is why I'm only thinking its most likely PI-IBS, as it occurred randomly with constipation, and now most of the time I pass normal, large amounts of stool that are normal.
So occasionally, once a week I'll get diarrhea like stool, not exactly. I'm guessing that's problem from some sort of salmonella, but I'm not sure.

And most of the time, my stomach might feel like it's building up gas, and then I pass it. Also when I sometimes feel like I need to have diarrhea, I end up having normal stool anyways
It's like endless trapped wind basically, no matter what I do it feels like it just found a new place to never stop for atleast a while.

Hi Jonathan, I'd go back to your doctors and ask for more help.

Sorry, I'm just frustrated, I have had symptoms non stop for 7 months now, I am not having a positive mindset

My doctors don't seem to help, all the gastroentologist said was leave it and focus on managing your stress, when I'm sure I can't. But then he said most people grow out of it, why should I be complaining? I know he is luring about that though

If you had an infection or food poisioning before IBS, PI IBS is a possibility. However, IBS can occur without getting an infection. In any case, it doesn't matter how the IBS was triggered, The best thing you can do is to accept it, check to see if anything in your diet aggravates your symptoms and take antispasmodics and painkillers. Even if you don't feel streseed, worrying about your symptoms, and whether or not they will completely go away, stay the same or go into remission will be causing you stress and will in turn make you feel worse.
