Hi everyone, great site, have learned a lot reading everyones posts. I have had some extreme stress in my life the past year, and the IBS symtoms kicked in big time, the horrible gas & bloating but I can't honestly say I have pain, just a miserable stomach crunching feeling like my stomach is clenched, hard,very very uncomfortable. if I stand up or lay down, especially on my stomach it goes away pretty much, though I can feel lower spasms crawling around, I feel like Frankenstein "its alive, Its alive"!!!! But it is my pesky bowels.A nyone else have this feeling? And sometimes it reminds me of butterflies in the stomach when you are nervous....its miserable, and the bloating is even worse, especially as the day wears on, I feel like if you stuck a pin in me I would fly around the room like a balloon!Thank you,Rouxby
