Hi, first let my say how helpful the website and this forum has been for me. I am going to try to keep this short and to the point. I'm 23 have had IBS (even though I didn't call it that) for 2.5 years. I've never been formally diagnosed, but I have had a few things ruled out by the dr, so I am pretty certain. First let me say that I hope I don't aggrevate ya'll with mentioning the same things others have already. I did the search and found a lot, but still have more questions. I have C and D and go between both. Neither is very severe, the worst is the pain. In fact, the pain was all I had for the first, well, more than a year. I thought I had an ulcer, but tests showed I didn't. The symtom is the same as some others I've read on this board, pain in the left middle under the ribcage. That is mostly just gnawing, but when it really gets bad, especially in the evening it is like a really severe gas pain that doubles me over. It doesn't feel like gas though, cause it doesn't go anywhere! It stay for the most part in the same area, with pain that is not as severe surrounding it. Another thing is a desire to belch, but not being able to. The short and narrow is: Is pain high in the stomach really IBS? Really I just want assurance. Although the pain can be severe everyday (though not all day)for weeks, I have gone months without problems, pretty much eating what I want. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask if any of you are still able to eat dairy. I seem to be able to consume skim milk and even low fat cheese without a problem.
