My weird symptoms

I’ve had IBS for likely 40 plus years. I have something strange going on right now. I have a strange feeling like there is something on my left side, under the ribs. Sometimes, I feel it quiver, sometimes gas gets trapped and sometimes I get the slightest little pains in the area. I always feel the sensation. Things been going on for two months. I have always had strange bowel habits but is it normal to go once in the morning, then two more times in the span of an hour? I’ve been to my doc, had blood work and an ultrasound and everything is ok. What’s going on? I should also mention that this came on after a very bad bout of health anxiety which I’m still dealing with.


  1. Hi,
    I think I have something similar. I had a big health anxiety, which actually was not a problem at all, I just made this shit up myself. But after the disorder my intestines started to behave really weird. Since almost two years I still have it but it appears time to time as you described ( I feel it quiver, sometimes gas gets trapped and sometimes I get the slightest little pains in the area). Sometimes it comes for couple weeks and then all of a sudden gone for couple months, and comes again, no idea how to fix it. Trying to get probiotics and peppermint oil. Usually I feel myself good during the day but gases come only at evening and during the night can bloating.
    And it feels only on the left side. Now I am trying to eat more fiber and it feels like the gut is moving now even more frequent.

    1. Thanks for your reply. My symptoms are still there but not quite as strong. I really have to be careful with what I eat. My bowels get affected badly. Gas is terrible.
