Hi I’ve suffered from ibs several years but recently I’ve been suffering with Gerd too.I never have much pain with ibs but as I’m anxious pain is there constant,the pain is like stitch in my left hand side and pain around my belly button.Ive had this for nearly two weeks how long can a bout of ibs last for ?

I have that too but pain in right hand side and feel like I need to burp too is this all menopausal? Also had it for a few weeks now

MY ibs started at beginning of peri so it’s maybe menopause related but my anxiety makes it worse and that also started at beginning of peri and I burp all time but that’s to do with anxiety 😔

Hi Sarah , Have lots of sympathy for you I also suffer from IBS  the pain is constant down my left hand side The only thing I feel helps is paracetamol and anti acid tablets . I have had different medications from GP but with no great success ! Bloating is reduced if I watch my dIet. 

I am totally with you on this issue   ! Hugs Elaine

Ask your MD to check out your gallbladder. xx

I had tablets from GP too which didnt help initially but I tried them again after I was told that they dont kick in straight away and they helped enormously.

IBS is definetly menopausal related I have good days and bad and it can be very debilitating too

Good luck ladies.....
