I know how you feel! I had some sort of post-infectious IBS going on while I had my fissure and it was a b!tch trying to get my docs to treat me - they kept trying to pass me off to other doctors. I really had to get assertive with my docs - I just told my surgeon that no matter what else was going on, I had to get my ass fixed because the pain was making my digestive problems worse. I don't understand doctors sometimes! It is possible, though, that your GI will order the right kinds of tests to get you properly diagnosed and treated. Hang in there and don't let the docs fob you off! This is not in your head, you are not being a nuisance or a hypochondriac, even though they are trying to make you feel like you are. Don't give up! Be as stubborn as a mule and you will eventually get treated and get better!
