Don't want to worry you, but you could have un-diagnosed crohns disease, or maybe ulcurative colitus.

Thanks for the replies guys. Appreciated.
Im more inlined to think its IBS and nothing more serious (well at least i hope) as it hit me after a works trip to n.ireland and i hate flying and in windy conditions in tiny plasticy looking aeroplanes made the experience a bit more stressful then usual, added by a hectic schedule while there, plus i have no diarhea,blood in anyform or vomiting...etc
Been prescribed a medicine by the doc today which apparently could cause prolactin induced gyno, i thought great, no training, poor diet and add gyno to this, im gona look great in no time :(

Who diagnosed that and how?
IBS is in indefinite diagnosis. It should really only be given as a diagnosis if all other GI pathology has been excluded. Unfortunately many GPs are too quick to label it that Jake may have a point. Definite pathology needs to be ruled out first.
IBS can present with symptoms ranging from constipation to diarrhoea or both at the same time!

It could be a motility problem. You need to let the Dr do his stuff, but if you're not happy, ask for a referral to a gastro-enterologist - they're the specialists.
What medication is it?

Then it's not IBS - it's an intolerance to foods. This is not in line with usual diagnoses. Interesting anecdotes about the calcium though - I must read more

Been prescribed Domperidone tabs 3 times a day.
Will see how it goes, but if this doesn't start to improve i wont be waiting long till i go to see the doc again but this time i will take your advice and ask her to refer me to a gastro-enterologist as the pain is just too much to ignore, im crouching while i walk with pain right now and waiting for it to ease off so i can go to bed.

Alan, in January I suspected that I have IBS because I often felt serious pain immediately after food consumption + alternating constipation and diarrhea. However I doc suspected a simple poisoning, infection and possibly tapeworms so he prescribed me some Flagyl. After a week on Flagyl the symptoms never returned, but I seem to be developing an intolerance for lactose and wheat.

I have IBS, to the point i go to the toilet for a 'No.2' around 4-8 times per day.
The Mrs told me i go too much, but the Doc said that everybodies bodies are different....
I go so many times that i've had bleeding when going for about the last 8 years, i had a colonoscopy which revealed piles, had them injected, but they just come back again due to the amount of times i go to the loo.............
I work in Sales, so quite often had meetings in London, i enjoy it but it makes me go to the toilet even more, sometimes over 10 times per day.
How do i get around it? I take two immodium plus on the days i have meetings, that way i don't go to the toilet for around 12 hours and have no wind either!

I cannot eat nut products. My belly swells, I feel very sick and get the squits.
As a laymen, I call it IBS as it's a little less graphic than saying 'the sh!ts'!!

well, i get stomach cramps when i have dairy, wheat (gluten), i remember i had a pizza one evening, woke up at 2am and had the worst stomach pain ever, was on the toilet for half an hour.
i used to have diarihea like stools 5-6 times a day, now i take calcium tabs with vitamin D i only go once or twice. it kind of makes me constipated but i need to get the trial and error right on the dosage.

) and gave me some tabs to go with it. I have no vomiting, no loss of appetite, no bleeding of anything...etc hence more serious options have been ruled out. But OMG i do go through some phases of pain in the day especially after a meal, goes up to just under my rib cage on left side at first i thought my heart was going.
