Sound like IBS?

Hi, I am a 45 yo mother of 2 who for 7 years off and on have had pain under my left rib. Its not a sharp or crampy pain, but more like a soreness. It felt like something was swollen and when my ribs would hit it it would hurt. Well since last July the pain is now every day and on both sides under the ribs. Sometimes the pain is sharp. but mostly it just hurts more like a throbbing. When its not throbbing it just a weird fullness kind of discomfort like a band all around from under my ribs in the front to the back behind my ribs. I am constantly bloated, and have gas. I have had a ct in July that was clear. I had an ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas and it was clear. My blood work is fine, except my iron level was high. This doesn't sound like IBS, does it? Thanks in advance for any help.

Theyre normal, but sometimes I get diarrhea, but its in the am after I have taken magnesium to help me sleep. I have no cramps or pain in the tummy area. For years, like 20 years, I thought I had IBS. I would get major cramps that were so painful I passed out once I would feel faint, sweat, feel sick and eventually I would pass several bm's and feel better. Come to find out after a colonoscopy that I didn't have IBS, but had adhesions that glued my intestines together After he pulled them apart, I had no pain. After reading some about my symptoms some people say that this could be IBS which makes me wonder bc I always thought it was ibs was more crampey

You know, I am not sure. It usually happens with abdominal surgeries, but when I first started having the cramping and then bm's I hadn't had any surgeries except for my heart surgery at the age of 10. Maybe that did it, but it is so far from the abdomen.
