What did you mean by "strange behaviors"? Besides not eating (which is quite common in BPs) what else did you observe?

She's been constantly out every night for the last 2 weeks which is not normal for her at all, and she's never using her warm side. All husbandry is correct so there's seemingly no reason for her strange behaviour. I know these specifically aren't symptoms of IBD but no one has given me any kind of reason why she's acting strange so i have no idea why she's doing so. I know it's not a lot to go on but after the blood test results and what my vet has told me, i'm not feeling hopeful.

He thinks???

It no longer that hard to diagnose there is a test for IBD which has been around for a few years now, obviously that was not done or he would not think, he would know.

Try to get in your vet to get in touch with the vet school of the university of FL to see how to proceed about the test and have your vet send the blood out there for testing

I was unaware there was a test to diagnose IBD. I don't suppose you know of any places in the UK (i'm in the uk) that offer the same test or if it is just that University you mentioned? I'll definitely be asking my vet if it's something that could be arranged either way.
