I just registered and have a question for anyone that can give some insight. I was diagnosed with IBS about a 1 1/2 years ago. I take medicine on a regular basis. The only problem that I am really having, is that I am sick to my stomach all the time, everyday. I am not pregnant, that I know. And I don't vomit. I just feel horrible all the time. Sometimes I get light headed and have burning headaches as well. One other thing is that about once every two weeks I get this burning pain right in the middle of my stomach. It goes away about 15 minutes later, but it hits when I am driving, working, or just sitting at my desk. I have already been checked for stomach ulcers and do not have any. I didn't know if these were normal symptoms of IBS or not. I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thank you!!!

Hi and Welcome to iVillage and this board,
Well it could be acid reflux
Hey Punkprinces23!
Cool name!
Thank you for your reply. It does happen at night and during the day. I had my gallbladder out almost 2 years ago. I take Welchol for my IBS. They checked to make sure that I didn't have ulcers first. Plus for years they thought I had ovarian cysts and then they came to the conclusion that it was IBS. I always have a "gurgling" in my tummy that is sometimes pretty loud. I try to stay away from greasy foods and iceberg lettuce. I have cut down on my sodas alot. I may have one a day. But mostly, I am just nausea all the time. Someone else suggested acid reflux. I will definately check into that. Thank you again for your info.

Keep us posted on how you are doing..
Have a Great wkend
~~Wren, ~~
I continued my daily life,tired-sick,would have this pain under my breastbone and abv.
my bellybutton. sometime's inbetween my sholderblade's. along with the urge or feeling
like i was going to vomit. sometime's i would and sometime's i wouldnt. anyway
i had surgery less than 2mo ago for a bleeding ulcer. it's not alway's easy for them
to detect. My suggestion take some maylox and get another opinion. Because they toy
with you/ulcer's. they will repair themselve's sometime's and then you can have problems
all over again. so if it keeps bothering you have it checked out again.
