Have been diagnosed with IBS , only lately been getting pains on left hand side just under my ribs ,doesnt feel like bowel or wind pain , just a dull ache , not all the time,i notice it more when im at the computer or driving .
last week had bad cramping session relieved by wind ,so thought was the same ,but googled and now worried sooooooo much, may be , spleen enlargment , related or pancrious .gall bladder ... or worse ..
does anyone have similar please help if you can ...

ps went to see my gastro specialist only last week , before i started having these pains , he examined me but is still happy i have IBs , should i go to see him again or am i being paradoid ?

if you're really worried, ask to go back to the specialist.
have you tried cutting down on wheat and dairy products?
that really help to curb my IBS symptoms.

It's tricky at first, but quite easy once you get into the swing of it.
I did menu planning at first.
There are some good recipe/meal ideas if you google for them.

Hope you feel better soon.
