Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any experience of the above?
My doctor has diagnosed me with IBS following several episodes of really bad stomach cramps, constipation and diarrhea, which then leave me with a horrible pain in my right hand side (a bit like a stitch type pain but a lot worse, and constant). He's given me a tablet called Mebeverine which I can't overly tell is working.
I've had what I would call 'anxious tummies' in the past whenever I've had to deal with a stressful situation but that has eased recently, and since I've started SW properly, everything has been pretty 'regular' in the number 2 department (sorry for the TMI!)
I keep getting these nasty episodes of hours of stomach cramps and constipation followed by on/off diarrhea and then the pain in my side and after speaking with a few friends who have had gallbladder problems, I'm wondering if perhaps its not IBS but a gall bladder problem instead.
This latest episode came within a few hours of eating a bacon sandwich which I thought OH had grilled, on first bite I discovered he'd fried it, in oil, but it was so yummy I just kept on eating! Apparently oil is the worst trigger for gall bladder problems.
Just wondering if anyone could help me as when I mentioned it to the GP, he said he was sure it was more likely to be IBS.
