I am sorry you have these symptoms and your concerns are being dismissed. There is nothing more annoying. I would go for a second opinion; not just seeing the G/ENT, which is always helpful for the IBS, but an Internal Medicine specialist can help with the other symptoms, such as the edema, which is not typical of IBS.
Wishing you well as you move forward and in finding not only someone that can help but some answers and relief soon. Hang in there.
