Is this typical IBS? Does IBS hurt in a specific spot?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I was diagnosed of having IBS after 2-3 months with abdominal pain, gassiness, and alternations between Lumpy - Fine - Watery loose. I took Mebeverine for two weeks, and it did actually get better. Overall cramps and pain are reduced, back pain got lost, and I overall felt better. That was until I stopped taking Mebeverine, the day later in the morning, I experienced gassiness. Had a dump in the morning, which looked really long and big, but perfectly fine. But after that, I then started to keep going back to the bathroom, and all my stools during the 5 times of those sessions, I only got watery loose stools and 6/10 rate of lower abdominal pai. , The stool looked like it was mixed with black stuff that floats around the toilet, some even have flakes and pieces and such. Which made me conclude this can't be blood and are only from the leaves I had the day before. Moving on, I began to anticipate where I mostly experience abdominal pain, which turns out.. I think it most of the time hurts specifically very near the hole of my belly button to the upper left. Does IBS cause pain in a specific area like this? Also when it does cause pain and I touch it, Kinda hurts too. I also have these " flair-ups " whenever I sleep on a cold night without sheets. Are my experiences typical of IBS even? Thanks in advance for those who will respond.

    hi jared, i have read your piece with interest and your last sentence really interested me, cold nights and no sheets? is this a physical thing me thinks? are you sure this is not kidney problems? it could be as where your describing the pain sounds more like that. try to find out more information, get more scans, get more medical information, ask more questions. good luck!
