What Causes Discomfort In The Upper Abdomen?
Hi there, my name is Sam, I have an itchy sensation in the upper part of my stomach I have had it before but not since a few months ago. I do have IBS quiet regularly, and only take Imodium often to stop the discomfort. Is there any suggestions to what it could be?

HI
Well come to HCM
It is two conditions you have been described here one is itching symptom and IBS these both ate different from each other, itching could be due to some hypersensitivity and this can be well managed with "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day" for the IBS no need to take Imodium because this wont work here but this may cause paralytic ileus instead, IBS is more or less functional condition, try to keep the stress low, hope this information helps, take care.
