what is it?

Hey everyone I'm new here. I fell and hurt my ribs 12 weeks ago. Shortly after that I started having problems after having a bowel movement. My stomach gets all gasy and sick feeling. I've had this stomach problem 3 times in the past 14 years. It always last quit awhile. Unfortunately I have no health insurance and my doctor won't diagnoise it as ibs until I have a colonoscpy. I can't afford it. Any ideas on what might be going on with me??? Any help would be appreciated

Were you put on any medication after your fall that might have caused the stomach issues?
If your Dr. didn't see a connection when you saw him/her, it probably has nothing to do with your fall and injured ribs.
Why do you feel that getting a Dx of IBS will help? Whether your Dr. gives you the Dx or not, finding and treating the cause of your discomfort is more important anyway. Here is some basic information about IBS, but please keep in mind that we do not have medical training and cannot diagnose what might be wrong!
