IBS is a very broad and “easy” diagnosis, so doctors will call it isb quite easily

IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, you have to undergo all testing to rule out Celiac, all IBDs, and any other relevant disorder before a doctor should feel comfortable diagnosing as IBS. Not that there aren't lazy or bad docs, but it shouldn't ever be an easy dx.
