I have ibs & this past thurs 2/13, my stomach started acting up. I was getting pressure NOT PAIN under. & Btwn breasts going around to back . Very uncomfortable . I couldn't eat bec it would set off this feeling . Now as of Sat 2/15, it began easing up so I could drink decaf tea & dry cookies & yesterday I had turkey on dry toast & stomach still feels a bit sensitive, but not like thurs. & fri. I can now drink reg caffeinated tea but not ready for coffee yet. I'm not getting pressure or bloated feeling Btwn breasts or going round to back anymore . When I had that thurs & fri, I was living on water. & dry crackers, not even dry cookies. It is VERY GRADUALLY improving , since there is still some sensitivity, here come the HEALTH FEARS . I start fearing is this not gone bec it's some type of cancer of stomach or ovaries or some other organ. Again I'm catastrophizing , but I can't control it. & so the fears start up . I don't in my heart believe it's cancer but there's the horrible WHAT IFS. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you're 33 as your nickname suggests, chances to have stomach cancer are about 0.000000001% :)
