Could I have ibs?

Doctor I am in need of your help, my stomach has been swollen and very painful for five months straight. Could I have IBS?

Bloating symptoms

Swelling or bloating is common in IBS and you can read more on this Go to stomach bloating.

However, it is difficult to comment on your swollen stomach with such little information. There are numerous causes for bloating and the degree of investigation really depends on other factors such as age, sex, previous abdominal operations, previous medical history, bowel frequency and symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, indigestion, bleeding from the back passage etc.

I would be happy to advise further if you can supply further details as outlined above or to provide peace of mind, pop along to your doctor who can check all these things for you.
