Confused! Hoping someone can help.

I'm a 24 yr who ver the past the past ten years I have experienced days where I have had a bad stomach after eating. I did some research on ibs and appear to have the symptoms but only mild. Is there such thing as mild ibs? As I don't have it as often as other suffers or as bad. Thanks.

I understand fully how frustrating it can be with IBS, I was told i had severe ibs. When I spoke to the doctor she did mention that some people get it mildly and other are more severe.
I would definately recommend you to speak to a gp about it, just to confirm it.

More research and experiments needed maybe.

Yes I found that my gp wasn't great either, but if you want to get answers you really need to explain how it effect your life too.
I found having peppermint oil in my water helped ease the pain and also if I was having cramps, buscapan worked too.
I hope that helps.

You are said to have IBS when symptoms are present for at least 3 days a month for a period of 3 months or more. Pain and other symptoms will often be reduced or go away after a bowel movement. The symptoms may get worse for a few weeks or a month, and then decrease for a while. In other cases, symptoms are present most of the time.
You may actually suffer mild IBS symptoms for years before an acute attack sends you to the doctor for relief. For mild IBS symptoms, probiotics are generally considered to be a safe treatment option. Look for a supplement that contains one billion cells per dose.
