From what I have been told from my GP there is really no test that can confirm you have IBS. They will do a colonoscopy, endoscopy and run blood tests and if all is clear and based on your symptoms they will diagnose you with IBS.

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion so you get the diagnosis if your tests look good
