I'm just wondering how you feel when your IBS is bothering you and what do you take or do about it? I have IBS, and I experience minor nausea at times. anxiety-maybe, mostly just a not feeling that great kind of symptom and I'm not sure if that is part of IBS or not. Any comments would be appreciated!
I also have IBS with minor nausea, although I refer to it as queasy stomach, which lately I seem to have all the time. I go from regular bowel movements for a while to watery diarrhea, which sometimes can come 25 minutes after I have a regular BM.
Do you or anyone else have the queasy/nausea feeling much of the time? I am really fearful of stomach cancer but it might be my anxiety (and I have plenty of that) taking over.

I don't know if I would say "much" of the time, but I do get that way occassionally. I also know that anxiety can make you feel that way too. Do a symptom search on the internet and maybe that will help you. May I ask your age range? Hope you feel better soon.
I have severe pain on my left side usually lower, but sometimes from under my rib cage all the way down. Usually my worst flare ups are always at work just after lunch. I haven't figured out if it because I am just sitting down after my meal or if work causes me more anxiety then usual. Mystomach will get huge (5 mths pregnant) I have a flat stomach so it is very noticeable,and I also get really bad gas and lots of it. I have had to leave work because the cramping is so severe that its hard to just breathe. I am on a antidepressant and have been for 9 years, obviously it is not helping my IBS symptoms. I've always tried to cure the IBS by going to see naturalpaths and through diet, but nothing works for long if at all. I finally decided that I need real medication if I want to have any sort of normal life. Soooo my doctor prescribed Buscapan and it works It also will help me when I ovulate and when I have menustral cramps, and this is usually when my IBS is at its worst. SO far so good. I'll keep you posted.
I am 59, have been diagnosed with IBS for about 2 years after all sorts of tests ruled out the bad stuff (as if IBS isn't bad enough!). I just got over a bout of the stomach flu with vomiting and diarrhea and that was no picnic as I had no idea that the onset was anything more than normal flare-up of the IBS. But this had vomiting, which I haven't done in 20 years, and a fever so it was definitely the thing that's been going around here. I now am also having light-colored stool, so who knows...there are lots of things including gallbladder disease that can cause that. Well, it's off to the gastroenterologist on Monday for an appointment I made because of the queasy stomach feeling before the stomach bug. What a life!
