Hi, Francesca and welcome!! I'm 51, nice to have someone else here close to my age (not that I don't love and adore everyone here!!).
I can't say I've had twitches like you describe, but I wouldn't be surprised if I did! This is one weird condition we all have!! It is actually a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, so it can affect just about anything.
Do you take an antispasmodic like Bentyl? Try drinking some peppermint tea (a natural antispasmodic) and see if it stops. If it persists and bothers you enough, of course check it out with your doctor, like any new symptom. But chances are it's probably nothing to worry about.
Welcome again and keep coming back! Oh, and like Crampgirl said, couldn't hurt to post the same question in the IBS Diet board. More people hangout there than here.
