hEY LADIES,
i AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF i COULD HAVE IBS. i DO HAVE LOOSE STOOLS FROM TIME TO TIME AND I ALSO GO TO THE BR SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR TIMES A DAY. THIS DEFINITELY ISNT EVERY DAY THOUGH. IT FEELS LIKE I DONT GET IT ALL OUT WHEN I DO GO. ALSO, I READ THAT A SIGN IS ABDOMINAL PAIN. WELL MY PAIN IS VERY HIGH....LIKE UNDER MY STERNUM IN THAT LITTLE HOLLOW HOLE WHERE YOU WOULD PUSH TO DO THE HEIMLICK (i KNOW I BUTCHERED THE SPELLING ON THAT) MANEUVER. DOES THE PAIN ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LOW DOWN AND CRAMPY??? MY PAIN IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A FAIR AMOUNT OF GAS , BUT i DONT HAVE ANY PAIN BELOW THE POINT THAT I DESCRIBED ABOVE. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

Sounds more like reflux or gallbladder to me. They usually rule other stuff out before they diagnose IBS. Talk to your doctor, it couldn't hurt.

Hi, Thought I would just throw in my opinion I do have ibs. I am not saying you have it, but i have the same symptoms you mentioned. Some days I only go to the b-room 2-3 times, sometimes 10+? I never know? I do have meds for it, be/c it can get bad! But since ttc i haven't been taking them. It does make a BIG difference! Sometimes when it's been a while since a bm... i get masive heartburn and the worst stomach pains in the world. It really stinks! I hope you don't have ibs, but if you do there are med's out there to help!!! I recommend at least trying them if not ttc. I just went in and talked to my re. He answered a lot of my questions. I don't know what foods "bother you" but SUGAR is a major one for me. The more sugar, the more time in b-room So sorry tmi! Also, if you have the major heartburn, (i've been to the hospital with it beofre, thought i was litterly having a heartattack?), they make med that you lay under your tounge for it to desolve and the pains gone is 15 mins. max! I am not usually one to complain, but ibs stinks and I hope you get a great report! Best wishes and let me know what happens
