I have the same exact symptoms. My gallbladder and appendix was removed 19 years ago. However, I've always had the slight discomfort on my right side and I cannot eat heavy. I was also diagnosed with IBS. The Levisin helped but my Pharmacist just notified me that the Manufacturer is no longer making Levisin and I should call my doctor to ask for a similar drug. I noticed the pain more recently due to holding down a full time job, working on my Masters Degree along with completing an internship. I definitely believe it is stress related along with putting on a few unwanted pounds.
Thanks for your input. I feel better know that someone else can relate to these symptoms. (not that I'd wish them for anyone, of course.)
hi
there is a lot of nerve activity in ibs the whole gut is lined with nerves and somtimes when an attack or i will use the word flare-up happens nerve sensitivity can increase and may cause pain down the legs .i have ibs and i often get pains down my legs -my arms -right side of belly --left side of belly been through all the tests etc. sometimes ibs just simply affects us all differently as is the nature of the syndrome.
but the best place is to stick to your doc if u feel ibs is not what is. wrong keep pushing for an answer-but try to not get over-anxious about it cause that really is where ibs moves up to a another level
take care and keep posted
