So I’ve been dealing with stomach issues for at least the past 8 years. Did all the testing back then. Endoscopy, colonoscopy, stool cultures, blood tests and ultra sound. They found my gallbladder was a little inflamed and removed it. That didn’t fix the issue and with me having crazy bad anxiety diagnosed me with IBS. They did say my intestinal walling was a bit inflamed.

Fast forward to today and I keep telling myself I’m dying or that I have cancer. It hasn’t gotten worse but again bad anxiety. My wife tells me if I had cancer they would have found it and even my general doctor keeps telling me that it sounds like IBS.

all that being said, I have a pain that really is prominent in the upper right portion under my ribs and can work all the way just under my left ribs. It tends to be worse on my right side. Liver enzymes are fine. Is any of this normal for anyone? I’m looking for some peace of mind and hoping I’m not alone in all of this. I also just did a food sensitivity test and found out I am sensitive to quite a bit.

VERY similar to what I’m going through, and I have very bad anxiety about the c word too. The pain often feels “deep“ and goes through to my back too, which scares me. I’ve had all the same tests and been told the only thing they see is a slight stricture in my intestines from past inflammation or infection. I have IBS, hiatal hernia and GERD. I’m scheduled for a consult this week with another doc about having a “balloon“ endoscopy to look more into the intestines. It’s tiring and I fee like no one believes me.

The only thing you can do yourself is not to fuel your anxiety.You have to get patience and calm, IBS is for me and for most of us , chronical. So patience and power to belive that you are gonna be better in the future.It is hard for me also, alot of pain , and panic attacks , but I go ahead.You have to calm down and look it in perspective, get the big guns out for this is an long time condition ! I wish you the best !

Can do joint pain like I do.I suffer for IBS-C for 5 yrs now.Take it calm and don`t lose hope.It is a long life condition, and you have to endure alot, belive me , I know.The pain starts in all guts, gases moving from right ribs to left ribs, struggling to breath because of the gass.This is hard and you are not alone in this, we have the hard symphtoms but take it like is gonna finish tomorrow, don`t let this leak to more anxiety.IBS and anxiety are influencing each other.Much peace
