i am 36 yrs old and for the last year and a half have been suffering with loud stomach gurgling and slight spasms shortly after a meal for a few hours. the doctor diagnosed me with ibs ihave no weight loss no blood in my stools just the runs every so often. the stomach gurgling does not always time with the runs but the gurgling starts after food and can continue for a few hours with a tight feeling on my left side and pressure all over the top part of my guts. i also suffer from gas. i am frightened now that it could be something serious. can you help me?[/b]

I have exactly the same symptoms as this. The discomfort down the left side and into the bottom left corner, in particular... It is similar to an emotional IBS, but this time, I have the feeling of not having emptied my bowels each time as the gut is continually swollen and gurgling.. The pain arrives soon after eating but there is no particular pattern. My stools have changed too from being healthy and normal, once in the morning, I now go all through the day with small strangulated stools.

I am having this checked.. In hte surgery they did the sigmoid colon examination which was vile and the air they pumped in was completely too much as the pain after was excrutiating.. Now I have to go for the full monty, endoscopy gastroscopy with biopsy and same the other end at the colon... This means anaesthetic and laxatives beforehand. I just hope the medics learn from vets, and put in only as much air as needed for the VOLUME.. They seem to go on pumping same amount as for a lumberjack who is three times my volume. He said I still have 2.1/2 metres but what about volume! Anyway, they have to rule out polyps, strictures, crohn's and coeliac, cancer etc. But our food today is such contaminated crap that nothing surprises me - our poor guts. Food intolerance was unheard of but bread today is not bread as it was meant to be.. Everything tastes of asbestos and fruit and veg grown in water, transparent to the light and tasing of raw potato whether a pineapple or whatever!

IBS caused me always emptying and having to eat a lot more. This is different as the gut seems a bit spastic and food feels as if it just sits with no peristalsis, or what there is is weak and ineffectual. But the ignominy of having everyone sticking the turkey basting equipment up there is prob worse than the symptoms, overall... I'm not too worried really; life is a terminal disease anyway...
