Pain just under ribs
I've had IBS for many years. Triggers are tummy bugs and stress. Symptoms are always aggravated by anxiety. (I have HA)
I'm having a flare-up which started with a tummy bug a month ago. Im extremely anxious about my symptoms and added to that I've just moved to another country.
I have mostly wind, bloating and stomach cramps.
It disappears at night and arrives back about an hour after I wake up.
The pain seems to be moving, one day its low down, the next day its just below my ribs, which I never had before.
Ive seen the doctor who confirmed IBS and gave me Mebeverine for cramps and Ativan for anxiety.
I'm following the FODMAP diet.
But my anxiety is sky high and the only relief I get is when I knock myself out with tranqs and sleep.
Im really worried that this time its something else.
Any reassurance would be very welcome.
