intestinal motility test

My doctor said I have IBS when he saw the grid on this test. It was similar to an EKG for the heart with the little pads on my tummy, I had to sit still for up to 30 minutes. Anyone here have this test and is it pretty accurate for IBS? I am having an endoscope in two weeks just to rule out an ulcer, celiac disease, SIBO and whatever else that test does. My symptoms are only trapped gas, no C or D. Got this at 70 and he said it's possible at any age (from stress for me). I had two clean colonscopies. No blood in stool.
