I agree that those symptoms sound pretty specific and localized for IBS. If the gastro doesn't know what it is, I suggest seeing a gynecologist in case you have a gynecological issue as well. If that checks out, I would either light a fire under that gastro to do some more investigating, or find a new one for a second opinion. Clearly something isn't right. But remember that is where your reproductive organs are too, and sometimes gastro illnesses affect them, particularly if you have adhesions.
Good luck. Be persistent. Sometimes you have to be the annoying patient to get what you need, and that's okay.
