IBD or IBS?

I became very unwell just over a year ago. Diahrea, then the bleeding and vomiting. Was admitted to the hospital where I was diagnosed with Pancolitis. Then the second episode a few months later I was severely constipated. Again admitted into hospital, this time with left-sided colitis. So now taking meds for IBD. Have had various tests and still having without a proper diagnosis. Which is extremely annoying. Lost lots of weight, and my symptoms change regularly. So would love a diagnosis.
