    Hello @ciss

    I have popped your post into our Rare, Invisible and undiagnosed conditions section of the forum, in case any one else in the community has advice :)

    I also went through the IBS misdiagnosis before being told I have IBD. I would go back to the GP and see if they can refer you to a specialist at the Hospital, if you do not have one already. They should be able to help and monitor the flare ups too.
