**hi all. i have never had ibs before and wondering if i can give some info whats been happening you could say iyo if it is. about 3 weeks ago my bowel movement changed from normal to small to medium size chunks. then about aweek ago i got stomach ache so off to the doctor i went. she felt around and gave me BUSCOPAN. when i took this the first day my symptoms went but on the second day it seemed worse after taking the tablet. my aches are around my lower ribs down to the groin and some back ache. BUSCOPAN doesnt seem to help now.

    hi stephen, oh gosh poor you! are you doctors having a laugh? you know your body best. go back and insist on a second opinion.... it sounds painful and all the painkillers don't help everyone the same. buscopan wasn"t good for me but gaviscon and a mild stool softener did. if no joy with your doctor either try your chemist or ring 111. good luck!
