Has anyone ever heard of having IBS without diarrhea or constipation? DH's doctor ruled IBS as the cause of his chronic abdominal pain (comes and goes)but DH is having a hard time accepting that since he doesn't have diarrhea, constipation, upset stomach, etc. He does get bloating. He has also started getting chest pains that the doc said was related ... that it was esophagus spasm and the whole thing's related to stress. DH just insists he must have something else. Please help. Oh, yes, and he's had a colonoscopy and GI CT scan which showed nothing.

Hi twohoneysmom!


First off I disagree with your husbands doctor.
