Lower right pain

[jj10125]

A few years ago I got told I have IBS .. mine seems to vanish then come back 2x worst most of the time I cope because the pain is dull, this time around I still have the dull aching and the feeling of needing to past wind but the pain its self can be sharp and also around the back I have had it aleast three days now whats a comfort because I know if it was my appendix I would not be able to walk by now ..

My questions are

1) Is it common to get IBS pain in the lower right .. it's a scary place to have it ...

2) I can't swollow pills never have been able to ive seen something called * pepto bismon chewable * is it any good?

and cura heat for IBS?

thanks

hi i was told almost 2 years ago that i had ibs and my pain comes and goes all the time..sometimes the pain is really bad and sometiimes its hardly noticabe...i get the pain in the same spot as u do...as far as i know there is no cure for ibs and all u can do is stay away from trigger foods,such as alcohol,caffeine,fatty foods,chocolate etc...some of them may or may not bother u, excercise,don't smoke,and try not to get too stressed out as that can trigger the symptoms too..hope u feel better

ibs can cause colic type pain all accross the digestive track lower right and more commonly lower-upper left.like loalbert said gas can move around, i think dont quote  me sugar and water is good for trapped wind. i dont think there is no cure for ibs at the moment i think everybody presents in different forms and may have other underlying conditions that affect or esclate the condition
saying that ibs can be managed through diet good excirese {something you enjoy} and not getting too stressed about it,if that was all to easy yeah

hope u feel better soon

For your first question I think it's possible because I get those pains....sometimes i wonder if it's just gas or something else. But pain can go up to above your rib cage. For your second question I don't know if the chewables are good, but I personnally don't like Pepto bismol.
I don't know any cure for IBS, theres only things you can do manage your symptoms.

Good Luck.
