I do also

I have been thinking about this myself lately. If I feel really bad with the IBS symptoms, I can sometimes end up just being able to do nothing. Can't think straight, or concentrate to do anything. Usually end up laying on the settee, tossing and turning, finding it's hard to even sleep it off. My husband suggested to me the other day that it seems a bit like a migraine.

Perhaps you better run this past you doctor if you haven't yet. Just to be on the safe side! I have never passed out so I don't really know what that feels like, but if it's that bad I would have thought it would best to check with you doctor.

I have passed out quite a few times in life I have a really bad pain threshold if that makes sence if I am in too much pain I either pass out or feel like I am going to

That sounds awful. Sorry to hear that.

Yes I do. But I get them occasionally anyway. No need to suffer with migraines though - your doctor can prescribe medication for it, which can take the edge off, if not ease it completely. I take sumatriptan but there are other options.
