I have been having some trouble with my stomach for sometime now. Years really. I have seen doctors, and have had some tests done, but I tend to get very discouraged when they make me feel silly. But recently the pain has been coming back, worse. But my point in joining this bb is that I would like for someone to tell me if the symptoms I have could be related to IBS. I will go to a doctor again if it leads me that way, but I don't have insurance and want to make sure I'm not just making things up. The number one pain I have is in my upper stomach (where your ribs come together) in that opening. It doubles me over at times. I have symptoms that go along with IBS, but I don't want to come to any conclusions yet. I've had a colonoscopy, and an ulcer blood test. Also a test to check my gall bladder. But all of those were negative. The doctor wanted to do an endoscopy, but I am hesitant. Can anyone help with the limited amount of info I've given. I don't want to babble on.Thanks
