Throw money at it?

I need my life back. I'm still waiting on a date for the colonscopy, but the GI consultant doesn't think it will show anything anyway. So I need to take matters into my own hands.

I have been reading up and there are two top options, both of which are expensive. Acupuncture supposedly has some great results, and Symprove, which cured 1 in 3 IBS sufferers in the clinical trials (but made no difference whatsoever to 1 in 3 - the other 1 in three saw 'some' improvement).

Any thoughts?
