I've suffered IBS for a long time now! This week I've had a flare up of C and haven't been going properly!

Since this has happened I've noticed I'm now getting pain and sort of an indigestion pain in my chest and in between by ribs! Anyone else get this?

    That sounds like acid reflux which is common with IBS.  I take over the counter antacids and milk and it helps.  I also have IBS C.

      I take omeprazole for heartburn... I don't know if this would help! I've just never experienced this before! It's very uncomfortable!!!

      Omeprazole helps block acid so it should help. I took this medication years ago and it worked for me. I have had hearburn for a long time even before getting IBS and I have had pain down my ribcage due to indigestion.  It can be very uncomfortable but it can be controlled.
