Hi I have been told I have ibs today I have had awful stomach ache different to normal
On Wednesday I was fine then planning dinner I then told my partner to go home I felt sick thought nothing of it as I feel sick a lot then began to cough I said er stop the car and I was sick random and no idea why I was only sick once more as I had milk to stop the burning not a good idea
And today I felt very sick again and had sick acidy burps and stomach been very saw. I had to be seen and they siad it was irritable bowel syndrome but I didn't think being sick was a common issue with ibs it was a one time thing so I can see why they say that it's not a bug I didn't think it was either

Please can anyone help me with what ibs is etc.. I also have a irritable bladder I have been told that ages ago.

Thank you

You can just do an internet search for irritable bowel syndrome and you will find tons of information on what IBS is.

Basically, IBS is what they diagnose you with when everything else has been ruled out, thru testing and stuff. The doc or whoever you saw wouldn't have been able to accurately diagnose IBS just from one visit today. Maybe they just meant that your stomach was irritated by something. Not the same as IBS.

If this is just a one time thing, like just for a couple of days, and then you feel better, I wouldn't worry about it. If you have persistent GI problems, it would probably be best to go see your primary care doctor or a GI specialist.

Feel better.
