Hi,

for about a year now in the mornings my stomach will hurt really bad. Like a sharp pain that lasts for about 5 seconds then comes back again in about 2 to 3 minutes. Food stops the pain but it comes back, and I end up having diaria or however you spell it. I have been to the doctor and they cant find anything wrong, but they think I could have ibs. I have taken zantac and it didnt help so now I am some other strong medicine. Does anyone think that this isnt ibs? Does anyone have any suggestions on what they think I could have.

Where exactly is the pain? Is it in your abdomen or your stomach? Is it close to your rib cage? It sounds like a spastic colon to me. Unfortunately, it is treated just like ibs. There is no "quick fix" for ibs, it is a trial and error situation. Sometimes taking an anti-spasmotic with a combination of a bulking agent, like miralax will help. It varies from one patient to another.
