| Do I have IBS
Hi I am a 31 yr old male, living in South Africa, over the past three years I get agonising cramps mainly in the morning, for around two to three months at a time. I have been to see countless doctors and gastroentorologists, to no avail, one suggested that I may have IBS and has now put me on Librax and Probiotics - now some days I have no pain at all, while on other days there is severe pain
Symptoms
Severe cramping in the lower abdomen, mainly in the mornings, sometimes in the evening and afternoon
No diarehea
No constipation
No nausea
Alot of gas, while there is pain
The pain lasts for about three hours, then dissappears, and I am perfectly fine, I have changed my diet and no longer eat any lactose or wheat.
I have been for a number of tests
Blood tests for virus and bacterias
Full blood counts
X-rays
Colonoscopy
Stool Analysis
Sonar
CT-Scans
They have all returned negative
I have no family history of Crohn's disease, or any other ulcerative conditions, and am not sure if this is IBS
P.S - not sure if this is relevant, but if I'm driving while I have the pain and get stuck in gridlock - it gets worse - if there is no pain and i am stuck in traffic there is no pain
Smoking while I have the pain seems to help
I appreciate any advice and suggestions you may have
