Potential IBS?

[Jamesg33]

For about two weeks now ive had lower left side abdominal discomfort, it isn't really painful but it seems to be related to eating and sometimes going to the toilet for a bowel movement helps, not always it seems to also be related to slight lower left back pain!

As I am quite anxious about my health I obviously am worrying about it being something more sinister like colon cancer for instance! I'm only 24 and I'm male, ive also considered maybe it's because I go through periods of eating then just not being bothered to eat!

Can anyone relate or give me advice or a similar experience? The reassurance would be great!

Sounds exactly like IBS.
Try to eat regularly. You could also try peppermint capsules and probiotics.
My IBS radiates into my lower back too. A heat pad helps.
Stress will make it worse, so try to relax.
