For about a month I have been having recurring but not constant bloating, upper ab pain, some middle back pain and diarrhea. I keep telling myself that this is IBS or at least caused by my anxiety. I have not been diagnosed with IBS but I have had similar symptoms in the past but never lasting this long. It seems to be worse about 30 min after I eat. Metamucil helps but it if I stop taking it the symptoms come right back. I am also having some pain in my upper abdomen but I suffer from GERD so I am hoping that is just a flare up. Anyway, I am "convinced" this is pancratic or kidney cancer. I am totally freaking out. Before I google and find out that it must be something horrible can someone give me some alternatives that will ease my mind or at least let me know that I am overreacting.
