Need some advice/input!

Hi everyone, I am new to this site, so I apologize if anyone has already posted something similar.
So, my stomach has been acting super weird since last Saturday. I started having very mild cramps in my lower abdomen, but it was so mild, that I was able to let it go and still have a great day. Sunday morning, however, things got bad. I started having bad pain throughout my entire abdomen... from my lower abdomen, to the left of my belly button, to above it. It hurt so bad that I sat with a heating pad on my stomach. My fiance' had me take some pepto bismol, which helped ease the pain. The pain felt much better that I even went to a basketball game and had a blast. The pain came back later, which I took more pepto, and once it eased up again, I went to bed. Everyday since then, I have been getting better and better. The pain is very mild now and has settled in my lower abdomen and has been bothering my colon. Today, however, got a little weird. I woke up feeling totally fine, but I had a chocolate muffin for breakast, and those muffins often go right through me, but I made a dumb decision to chance it today. Well, the cramping got really bad and was able to use the restroom but it was a lot more loose than usual. I called my doctor and got in to see her early this morning. She did a very thorough exam and asked me all kinds of questions. At the end, she concluded that I may just have something weird just going through me and it's making it's way out. She said she does not suspect anything serious and just wants me to start taking more probiotics.
I just want to know what everyone else thinks... has anyone else gone through anything like this? Could this be the start of IBS. I sure hope not because I'm only 94 pounds and don't want to lose any more weight. If you have any other suggestions, let me know!
Thanks!!!!

I wouldn't jump to conclusions and say you have ibs. Eat plain foods for a few days - rice, toast, banana etc and see if it improves.
