Kinda--the really generic symptoms: abdominal pain, gas, burning. But I have--not occasional--but pretty much constant pain high on my right side, reaching around into my back and behind my shoulder blade, and a lot of nausea. In fact, the nausea and right/back pain are so overpowering that it wasn't even until my 3rd specialist (after simply looking over that little sheet of symptoms they have you fill out in the front while you wait) told me I had IBS that I even considered gas a "symptom," it was so secondary to the other pain. I had another "attack" yesterday. It lasted nearly 24 hours, and my symptoms were severe nausea, a feeling of constant choking, bad burning pain high in front coupled with pain on my right side/back that was constant and accented with stabs every few minutes, and that awful feeling when your chest is so heavy and hurts so bad that it is hard to breathe. I haven't ever heard anyone else with IBS describe similar symptoms to this particular "attack." It came on in the night. I woke up feeling like something was gnawing at the organs under my ribs. It just got worse from there and did not let up until the next night. Oh, and I couldn't lay down or it immediately got worse. I know that is a sign of acid reflux of some sort, but like I've said before, I've been on prescription and over-the-counter antacids, and they didn't help at all--even making it worse on one occasion.
