Stress related IBSD

Stress is a major cause of IBS flare ups.  I have stress related IBS which can start six months after a stressful episode.  My doctors did a urine test, celiac test, and stool samples for h pylori and fecal calprotectin.  I was also sent for sn ultrasound.  Nothing showed up so I was diagnosed with IBS.  I had no alarm symptoms so I didn't need a colonoscopy.  I have IBS C but I have had IBS A too.  High blood pressure may have started because of your stress.  

I had chiropractic treatment with massage which went wrong along with a blood test which was badly done.  Two to three months after the blood test, I got IBS.  I am still in pain from this injury three years after it.  

If everything is negative IBS can be diagnosed.  You could try avoiding typical triggers like wheat, rye and barley which can cause bloating.  Gluten is also a culprit for some.  Also avoid gassy foods like broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts; avoid fizzy drinks  and artificial sugars and chewing gum.

had colonoscpy all normall i take peppermit tea and peppermint oil capsules which help alot

I am not sure that probiotics are as good as they are touted to be.  They can worsen diarrhea and actually cause it in some people.  Probiotics, as I understand it, are supposed to combat "bad bacteria" in your colon, but I think everyone has some of that and my guess is it does not cause IBS.  IBS attacks are not the same as severe upsets caused by bacterially tainted food. I am not medically qualified, but it's my opinion, from my own research, that IBS is not very well understood.  I think a lot of stress can cause bouts of diarrhea, but I have my doubts about it triggering IBS attacks.  My own most recent bout with IBS has lasted a year now, coming and going as it pleases, both in times of stress or relative calm.  It doesn't seem to matter. The Mayo Clinic is a famous medical institute in the US.  People come from all over the world to be treated there.  Its website states, regarding IBS "... unlike ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, which are forms of inflammatory bowel disease — doesn't cause changes in bowel tissue or increase your risk of colorectal cancer."  Another site maintains "Considering that mucus is a common symptom of IBS, there is a glaring lack of research on the subject. Although mucus is generally associated with inflammation, research studies on the role of inflammation in IBS do not even mention mucus."  So does IBS cause temporary patches of inflammation in the lower colon--or not?  In my case, within the past year, no one has bothered to take a look to determine that.  It's just "I suspect IBS is your problem".  Years ago, when I had the same symptoms, I had several tests but I don't recall the results or if any inflammation was seen.  Some months ago, I felt a pressure that seemed to be localized on the left side on the level of  the navel.  It drove me crazy at night because it felt like something was trying to push through.  There was also many times when my abdomen felt terribly bloated and I had that "balloon" sensation you mentioned.  I feared a bowel obstruction but the doctor said it was not the case.  That sensation of pressure in one place went away after some weeks and the "balloon" has lessened, too. I rarely get it now, so I hold out hope that yours will subside, as well.  I think IBS is a very weird syndrome although it certainly plays havoc with your life due to  lack of sleep on account of the very uncomfortable gas and pressures and the unpredicatble diarrhea during the day.  But why so much mucus with the attacks if there is neither obstruction nor inflammation?  Rather mysterious.
