ibs??

i have had a pain under the right side of my ribcage for a couple of months now, accompanied by on off diarrhea which is worse in the mornings. I also had lower back pain for a while which now seems to hve eased off but instead i have had headaches for the last week. i went travelling around asia a few months ago and have been feeling ill since i returned home, i did have 2 bouts of food poisoning while i was away. i was prescribed omeprazole which i am currently taking, but the pain seems to be worse. any ideas? thanks

I would recommend asking for stool testing to look for parasites and other things like that.  It might be something that you picked up when you when to asia and this would most likely show up on a stool test.

thanks for the advice. i had a stool sample test which came back clear. my symptoms have now subsided for the most part which i am releived about. i started taking psyllium husks capsules to help with soluble fibre and friendly bacteria capsules. I also had some energy clearing done by a homeopath, ive been feeling good for nearly a week! hopefully it will continue as i was feeling ill for 2 months before this.
