Hi there,
Sometimes folks experience gas pains there, however, upper quadrant pain is NOT associated with IBS. I've included a list of some common causes of abdominal pain.
Bladder infections
Cholecystitis and/or gallstones
Excessive stomach gas (this may be you)
Endometriosis
Food allergy
Food poisoning (salmonella, shigella)
Hernia
Indigestion
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Kidney stones
Lactose intolerance (milk intolerance)
Menstrual cramping
Ovarian cysts
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Stomach Ulcers
Uterine fibroids
Somach flu
The best think for abdominal pain are the peppermint capsules found here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/suplmts/pmintcaps.asp. or the peppermint tea found here http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/teas/pmint.asp. Peppermint is considered a strong antispasmodic. If you haven't done so already, I would definitely see your GI doctor to ensure there is nothing serious going on. If you are not already diagnosed with IBS please go to this link to read more http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/ibs.asp.
I hope this helps!
