I was complaining about abdominal pain and constipation for about a month when I ended up going to the ER and was than diagnosed with IBS. For the past month, my stomach has been so bloated that I cannot fit into my pants and is sensitive to touch. I do get naseaus after eating. My question is do u think it can effect your period? My most recent one was very short and very light and I can figure out if I am pregnant or whether this is a symptom of IBS.

Thanks for any input! oh and one more thing! ... do any of you feel like tiny needle pricks almost like little electric zaps on your stomach or near your belly button? Sometimes like in the inside right near my belly button, it itches. I told that to the doctors in the ER and they were just mystified?! I have several HPT and they were negative.
