Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Here are the symptoms suggestive of IBS
1. Excessive gas
Bloated feeling
Middle side of body painful and looks different to the right side

Here are the symptoms suggestive of Vit b12 deficiency

Headaches
Fatgiue
Anxiety
Tittinus
Left calf cramps
General muscle spasms
Left toes go numb at times.

Unrelated issue is the burning after urination. Please get a urine routine done for this, it is mostly indicative of a urinary tract infection.

Muscle cramps can also mean low calcium and Vit D, please get this blood test as well.

I hope I was of help, please get back to me for any further queries
