Sorry. Yes I am male. I'm 33 years old. The pains started about 6-8 months ago, though other symptoms (diarrhea, etc. started long ago).
To answer the other replies (wow, thanks for the quick responses), the ultrasound I had was specifically to check for gall stones and there were none. This surpirsed me because I had convinced myself that gall bladder was going to be the culprit.
I understand that there is a gall bladder "function" test, that is different and so will pursue that.
I am rarely if ever constipated, so I believe I have only the "D" type (which is enough, thank you  )
So I guess I still have the question, when you all have pain, is it the crampy pain I would be familiar with as going with diarrhea (only a lot worse) or is this other sharper different pain likely IBS as well.
Also, Heather, you mention that exercise sometimes triggers the pain? I've not seen that anywhere else online or in the book. Do you have any references to examples? Is it rare? For me, it does NOT require strenuous exercise. Walking a mile or more even on flat surface does it to me. It has in the past few months become a consistant trigger.
Thanks again all.
