Hi I'm so glad I found this board. I"m 32 and female, happily married. I got diagnosed with IBS-C about 6 years ago, mostly I've been ok with flare ups every now and then. I take Fibersure to help things and I"m usually ok until I get really anxious or stressed about something and it flares up.I've been under al ot of stress lately, I suffer with Health Anxiety, it all started when I worked in a Doctors office and I worry about my health a lot constantly. I've had the usual IBS symptosm before such as crampy abdominal pain, pain after a bowel movement (and before), bloating etc...but about a week ago I started to feel nauseous after eating and getting acid in my stomach, then it turned into IBS like symptoms such as pain after bm, bad bowel spasms, my bm changing in consistancy daily, sometimes ribbon like, sometimes formed or not formed (sorry it's gross), a lot of wind, the bloating has been minimal and my stomach is still quite flat, I wake up flat stomach and it can increase slightly during the day but it's not much bloating this time. I feel sick after I eat and my nerves in my stomach are going crazy (like butterflies). I'm extremely anxous now and I know it's making it worse, but last night I had a feeling of trapped gas in my left side right near my hip. My husband and I were intimate and it was painful in the left side right up near my hip, it didn't matter what position we tried it hurt and it is stil tender in that area today, like there is still trapped feaces in there or gas, but I"m petrified of ovarian cancer. I have no family history and I'm fit and healthy. I had a pelvic ultrasound done in Oct 2009 and it was clear. I had my ob/gyn annual in Feb and it was all fine and they did an internal and said it felt normal in there, so do I need to be worrying? My bowel feels like it's in a constant spasm. I have tried peppermint tea, probiotics, everything..nothing helps!My husband has been so understanding but he is losing his patience and he thinks I should not keep on going to Doctors as it makes my anxiety worse as they do all these tests and terrify me.Can someone PLEASE give me some advice or reassurance? I can't function well, I can't sleep because of nightmares due to worrying about Ovarian cancer and I can't study for school.I would appreciate any adviceThank you
