Ive had these lower ab pains on and off for few years now.they come and go.when i have them my energy levels really drop..dull headaches , backache , nausea.. i had a camera confirming a hiatal hernia but not serious and i dont think this is the root cause.i also suffer from acid reflux but always under control..i have regular bowel movements but only because i eat lots of fruit and veg..if i dont then it becomes difficult.pleas can someone give me an idea.could this be ibs??...i just want to connect with someone who maybe suffers with similar symptoms..im a 53 year old male..have a decent diet most of the time....thanks

    I’m not a dr, but could be IBS.  I know fruits & veggies good, but some can bother IBS & GERD.  Could see GI dr, just to talk/check - might make you feel better.

    Hi, possibly IBS, some fruits and veg can give bad gut issue's, check out the FODMAP DIET, many fruits contain certain sugars which cause problems, veg that contain inulin not good, lots of info on FODMAP diet online.

    It may be IBS; see your doctor again.  My IBS causes shifting abdominal pain, constipation, sometimes loose stools or diarrhoea, back ache and nausea.  My ultrasound, stool tests, celiac and urine test were negative.  If all your tests are negative, IBS can be diagnosed.
