Tight stomach is it IBS?!
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi guys,
For the last 2 nights I've had a tight feeling on the left of my stomach and sometimes around it only really happens when I'm lying down at night or trying to go sleep. I sometimes feel hungry with it but I'm not. I do get a bit of wind too.
Also I've had constipation aswell for the last 10 days or something like that and I am going but only once a day don't know if that's why.
Anyone else experienced this I do have IBS and getting tested for Celiac Disease too. (had a few minor pains around my stomach too) but not painful!

Hi Nay the tight feeling on your left side is part of ibs and may be causing you pain due to constipation, or cramp.You should try buscopen which may help you

hi nay, i don't really suffer from the tightness but ibs yes, when you say stomach you mean where? many people who are dim (you know the people i mean) mean ABOVE the belly button when referring their bowel, if it's there they need help! does it feel like a twisting, if so that could well be ibs related, a knot or twist i think can be treated with buscopan or something similar, your chemist will advise you better, as this seems like a spasm. i would ask a chemist, they may know better. good luck!

forgot to say for the constipation are you either taking laxatives to help or on a high fibre diet? also is it possible you've pulled something?
