I'm curious how long it took during your road to diagnosis (and for those of you yet undiagnosed) for your doctor to perform a colonoscopy on you. The first time I saw my GI he said I had IBS and sent me on my way with an antispomatic. A lot of good THAT did.
Before long I was back and he wanted to try some antibiotics or do some more wait and see since, "IBS often takes care of itself."
I insisted on a colonoscopy and was getting the procedure 3 weeks later. The biopsy results came back as IBD.
I have a feeling that if I hadn't insisted on a colonoscopy that I'd be sitting here thinking I had one hell of a case of IBS. All told, I'd figure it was 5 months from onset of symptoms until colonoscopy.
