Hello
Ive been diagnosed with IBS since April.
Now I get an urge and tummy ache before I need to rush to the toilet in the morning.
Ive been getting a feeling of discomfort under my ribs, off and on recently and wondered if this can be caused by IBS? It feels like a band at the bottom of my ribcage and it definitely is under both ribs.
Thank you

My ESR is now 3 and CRP has come down from 20 to 16.
He is testing me for autoimmune diseases.
He thinks the discomfort under my ribs may be indigestion? Ive got some medication to take.
I need to go back in a month.

hmmm sceptical about that but glad he is testing for auto immune issues. Would want to know what he is doing as a gp can't diagnose that.

I have these symptoms as part of my IBS. I get sharp stabbing pains under my ribs followed by a major urge or should that be plural

Hey Lizzie
Hope you are ok, I saw this post, I know a long time ago and you may no longer be on here, but wondered if you managed to get relief and your IBS and possible costochondritis has calmed down?
