Stomach pain is one of the listed - and possibly serious - side effects for this birth control pill. web page You should call the doctor who prescribed it tomorrow and let him know your daughter is having serious abdominal pain.
Beyond that, the "FE" apparently refers to 4 "reminder" pills that contain an iron supplement. A lot of people with IBS have trouble tolerating any type of iron supplement. I don't know how much of this is in the reminder pills but you should discuss with your daughter's GI doc whether this could be a problem for her. If so - and if her gynecologist agrees - your daughter may want to skip the "reminder" pills to avoid aggravating her IBS more.
HTH. Welcome to the Boards and I hope your daughter feels better soon.
