so i went to a dietishion a little while ago who told me i have IBS ands its stress related, she put me on AIMS herbal fiber blend which i take everyday in the morning and night when i start to have problems, recently i have been having a really bad spell but its diff to normal pain that i get. i usually get a pain that starts under my ribs and pains down to my abdomen. recently i had pain on the righ side close to where i thought my overies were and not in the normal area i would have pain, i thought that maybe it could have been a cyst. i went to the doc and he prodded and sed that i have an inflamed colon (i thought the colon was on the left hand side??) so he gave me meds as well as an antidepressent for a 10 day course to help with the inflamation on the colon and stress. but its back again after 2 weeks! sharp irritating pain on the right side of adomen.
anyone got this?

The colon is the large intestine so it doesn't have a "side". You didn't say if you have IBS-C (with constipation) or IBS-D (with diarrhea.) I have IBS-C and yes, much of my pain is on the right side. I've tried all kinds of different treatments and the one I finally found to work best is Miralax. Miralax is available over-the-counter in the fiber supplement aisle at the store, but it's not a fiber. There's no cure for IBS so don't expect it to just go away forever, but there are treatments. The best pill for IBS-C was Zelnorm, but it was taken off the market a few months ago....grrrrr.

Go to the doc again. Colitis is a stubborn disease.
