Many of us fibromites have irritable bowel syndrome I often get a lot of trapped wind in my stomach too. Hope you doc confirms the scan operators thoughts

Good luck VG x

I have bad tummy ache and pain quite regularly and can be a right pain, especially if I need a no 2, I have a irritable bladder may need to have it lifted, so yes tummy probs are I'm afraid common place

Hope your scan comes back clear

I was diagnosed with moderate diverticular disease 4 years ago...Both my paternal and maternal grandmothers died of bowel cancer and my maternal grandmother also had the same disease as does my mother...I had a flare up last year and thought I was dying as the pain was so bad...my worst fear is surgery so I try to eat well to keep things at bay. Not sure if anyone else has the same condition with fibro. I get sore ribs when I am a little full, usually on the left side

Here's my findings on what I call my dicky tummy I have IBS several bouts of constipation/diarrhea but I also have diverticulosis/divertuculitis and they both give me severe pain to the point of fainting.

Hope scan results ok.

With my IBS sometimes the pain can be excruciating -- It sometimes feels as intense as "labour pains!" and can be quite frightening. I was investigated for endometriosis, coeliacs disease and Crohn's disease which included laparoscopys, barium meals, etc.(all were clear) As your scan appears ok lets hope that it is not anything more sinister. I also get irritable bladder which gives pain in my lower abdomen also. xx
