What Are The Symptoms Of IBS?

Hello, I have been having many stomach issues for the past year. I ve been to a few different doctors, with no luck of finding out what might be wrong. It started with quite a bit of stress in the beginning. I was nauseous 24/7, throwing up at least 8 times a day. I ve tried 6 different anti-nausea medications with no help, and been to the ER 4 times in a span of 3 months. I awake every morning feeling nauseous with pain and a full feeling in my middle abdomen. I ve had tests done that came back with no results. Is it possible that I could be experiencing IBS? Is IBS this painful and persistent? I would very much appreciate any help at all. I m not sure what to do anymore about the pain.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
You are right, chances of you suffering from IBS is high.
symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort in association with frequent diarrhea or constipation and a change in bowel habits.
There may also be urgency for bowel movements, a feeling of incomplete evacuation (tenesmus), bloating, or abdominal distension.
In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements.
People with IBS, more commonly than others, have gastroesophageal reflux,
Pain is not a symptom, but may occur due to constipation.
Drink lot of water.
Hope , this suggestion will help you.
Good luck.
