I suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) too as does my mother and I can relate to this because I go from diarrhea to constipation to stomach cramps, gas and bloating. Sometime after a meal I'll have the same kind of pain your talking about and once in awhile at night when I'm laying down to go to sleep my guts will just ache and burn like fire (I also have acid reflux). Have you taken anything for it?. I take Prevacid and it helps a LOT but I don't always remember to take it when I should. Good luck and I hope you get the help you need!

Hey Im only 14.. but i got the same prob only with my right side.. i went to the docs.. And i have a urinary track infection.. and because I dont drank water it made my bathroom schedule change... like I pee all the time... But than I wouldnt go well #2... So I had gas and they said that could cause pain like that to anyone.. and it sometimes is so bad u cant think of what it could be.. But if its under ur rips like mine.. maybe u should go get a urinary track infection test done.. they said u can get different symptons.. Like some people dont burn they just get the pain.. if u go to a free health thing... they give u the pills right their and they r free so if moneys a prob~... well i know u probably think shes stupid.. but i just wish i could help considering i know how u feel.. I get the pain so bad i wake up screaming and cant move!

good luck and best wishes

Heart burn can cause an intense pain around the heart area and rib cage. Both my husband and I suffered it when we got onto eating raw bran for breakfast and I was using it to make cakes as well so we would have healthy bowels

We know when we get that pain we are having too much unprocessed bran. Wonder has anyone else found this out? It is a pain which makes you feel it is a heart attack I might add.
