So, did you go to the doctor for this? And they wouldn't diagnose you? IBS is tricky. I was just diagnosed with it because I have some classic symptoms. I can get triggered by certain foods. And if I get stressed, it happens. I get horrible cramping. And then diarrhea. What you describe, though, actually sounds like something else that happened to me which was a duodenal ulcer. I had a small ulcer in my intestines high up. I had burning every time I ate and pain. Are your bowel movements impacted (IBS often either has diarrhea, constipation or both)? Did you have an endoscopy?
