Hello,

IBS is kind of functional disorder and it is not the pathological disease, certain conditions are likely in case of IBS as for example constipation, vague abdomen pain, for constipation start taking more fiber containing diet, drink lot of water, if the pain persist for days then it has to be brought for investigations then it can not be due to IBS but it could be due to GI inflammatory disease like cholecystitis, hyperacidity, Biliary colic still then Acetaminophen can be tried for pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
