Hi i suffer from ibs and the last 4 days i have had what i can describe like trapped wind although to be honest i can part with it:blush:. but all day long i feel the discomfort down my left side and around my back to the kidney areas.
I was wondering if any fellow sufferer of ibs has had this symptom of pain in the kidney area as this is a new one to me and i am starting to worry it could actually be my kidneys i am into my 4th week of citalopram could it be that ? im just dont know anymore. i might just make another appointment with my gp. I think he must sigh every time he sees mt name on his list.:blush:

Dear Claire,

I have found since I have been taking Citalopram an increase of more trapped wind.

hi i have been to my gp this evening and he thinks i may have pulled a muscle in my back and that is what is causing the pain in the kidney area. I mentioned the citalopram and the trapped wind and he said that it can cause bowel disturbances so thanks guys panic over for another day.
