hello everyone, im new to this board as from today and id like to tell you all about my symptoms to see if they sound like ibs or crohnsfirst of all i have what feels like a little bulge under my right ribs and also have a dull ache on the top right hand side of my abdomen i also suffer with the frequent need to use the loo approx 3-5 times per day stools are loose and sometimes almost fluffy like, sometimes if i have a drink after a meal an hour or two after i will have extreme pain across the bottom of my stomach and will have an urgency to need the loo again and this is the fluffy type also, this has more or less stopped me going anywhere and i now spend my days living like a hermit, also every now and again i get small extremely painful mouth ulcers on my tongue.well thanks for listening and any advice will be much apprecciated.ps i gave a stool sample to the doctor but they said there were no problems, does anyone know what happens when they send this off to the hospital?thanks again.paul.
