No problem. I had had "IBS" for years. But, that is a symptom. Not a diagnosis. What is causing it is what we want to know.
Sorry about you Dr.
Yes, normal to have loose stools. But, if you are having an episode fiber is not your friend.
Depending on your health history. It is hard to find the right diet.
For the 5 mths before my surgery. Which I scheduled because I did not want to be in the hospital in the winter due to too many people with cold, flu etc. I stayed on Mesalamine every day for inflammation and stay on a low fiber/low residue diet. I also worked out and tied to stay in the best shape for the surgery.
There are a lot of low residue diets online and you can pick and choose what you like and know will not bother you.
Make your portions small and have 5 times a day. Make sure and get your protein and vitamins. I did start eating white bread and boiled potatoes (no skin) and it helped for the carbs. Eggs and baked chicken for protein.
Sept. seems a long time away for your colonoscopy. That will be the only true way to find out what you have.
Until then keep on a diet that works and make sure and exercise! Also, drink a lot! Also, they need to do a full blood work for you to know how your nutrition is. Mine was terrible. My drink cocktail was white grape juice (no pulp/no sugar added) mineral water (Pellegrino) Gatorade, vitamin water (no sugar added)
never eat after 7 and have chamomile tea before bed.
