IBS and gallstones!

so I have had IBS for several years but my symptoms got worse in October 2024. In January 2025, I was told I have multiple gallstones! I might need surgery. However, my symptoms are mostly excessive gas, heartburn, and intermittent pain in the middle or left side of my abdomen. I thought gallstones caused pain on the right side! Anyone else have IBS and gallstones?

Gallstones do cause pain in the centre and right hand side radiating to the back. However when my gallstones played up at first, I too experienced pain on the left near the pancreas and also the spleen. Thankfully my eventual surgery was successful.
