EDIT: Also while I am at it, I would like to ask a question for all of you... where do you get pain typically when you have an IBS attack?

thx

Mine has always been in my upper right hand side, just under the last ribs. I questioned my GI doc about this and he said the pain doesn't always have to be low. But describing your mom's pain, it sounds more like a gall bladder attack. My gall bladder attacks started out feeling like a heart attack then moved down to exactly where you explained your mom's are. They came and went out of the blue...well, not exactly..they WERE triggered by eating something high fat. I was 46 when I had to have mine removed. The attacks are more common in women in their 40's than any other age.

It is a simple ultrasound test to find out about gall stones. I would suggest it to your mom.
