Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Help, I'm still confused

I've posted in the past about my conditiion. I was diagnosed with IBS by two doctors who only did bloodwork. I don't have severe symptoms or attacks but they still affect me. I have been really concerned about my weight loss. I have lost 15 pounds in the last three months. People are telling me that this isn't in excess and when I think about what I eat it may be normal. I seem to be eating less so that I don't feel bad, although I am trying to follow the diet. I get pain on my lower right side which after reading books on IBS they all say most people experience pain on the left side. I know that I have an ovarian cyst on the right side so it may be a combination of both bothering me. Sometimes if I press down on my abdomen it may feel hard or lumpy in some areas. The doctor did this as well and said that it was stool that was slow moving. I worry alot that I may have something more severe and everyone tells me I'm ridiculous. They say my bloodwork is fine and I'm not loosing 10 pounds a week but I still worry. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone????
