Hi Starlight,
Yes, IBS can make you have pains under the right hand side of your rib cage. I don't have much of that kind of pain anymore though.
My personal opinion is that it can be caused by an overactive gall bladder. Again I personally believe that if there is too much bile it can cause you to want to heave and feel full. Depending on whether you suffer from C or D variety IBS you can help yourself to some of the common cures for this problem. If you suffer from C you can use a quarter of a bile salts pill, which will simultaneously help the C, help reduce pain and will reduce your chest pains (I use the pills on the days i suffer from pain in the chest). If you suffer from D variety you can use bile absorbants which are not OTC (over the counter) such as Colestid or Questran.
Well, you can get a lot more advice from others on this board as well, as to how to handle your IBS.
Cheers,
Raju.

There are also other things that can cause pain under the right rib.. such as your liver, gallbladder.. etc. Also, you should look into spastic colon if you feel like you're have spasms.

My GI doc put me n NuLev for Spastic Colon and when i get the attacks which is kind of like what u described it does help relieve the pain. If you dont have a GI doc, try to get referred to one and make sure he or she knows that you have that sort of pain.
