    Hi, I’m pleased to see you are going to see your doctor, as the symptoms may not be connected to your IBS, not that I’m suggesting anything in particular.  In the meantime get plenty of rest and stick to a simple diet. I hope you are feeling well again soon.

      Keep going back to your doctor to get a definitive diagnosis.  Sometimes you can faint as a result of intense pain, but further testing may be needed to uncover the cause.
