Does this sound like IBS?
« on: September 28, 2011, 12:22:52 PM »
I've had stomach issues for years and been tested from top to bottom (literally - lol) and so far nothing has been found except bad gastritis and GERD. 

Every morning I feel nauseous when I wake up and vaguely sick to my stomach.  After I have a BM it goes awy (sorry TMI).  Then I get these pains that kind of move around my abdominal area.   First it will be upper right quadrant, then upper left and so on. 

I don't really get diarrhea but my stools tend to be on the loose side.  No blood I can see but there has been mucus on occasion. 
I'm sorry to be so gross but I'm really sick of this and am hoping someone besides a doctor (who will only want to do more testing) can help me out.

I've never been officially diagnosed with IBS but I like to think I have it so that I don't think all my symptoms are pointing to something more ominous.  I had my last colonoscopy about 3 years ago I think and it was all normal.  I had all kinds of stool testing done about 6 months ago and that also showed nothing.  I really don't want to go back for more testing. 

Any advice?

Well,I can't diagnose you but,I can tell you my experience with IBS

I always have bad abdominal pain after I have been really stressed out or overly anxious. Then,when I go to the bathroom I feel better. It relieves the symptoms. I also seem to not go #2 as often as I should.
 But,the main symptom is just abdominal pain. For me anyway.
