Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gut disorder. The cause is not known. Symptoms can be quite variable and include abdominal pain, bloating, and sometimes bouts of diarrhoea and/or constipation. Symptoms tend to 'come and go'. There is no 'cure' for IBS, but symptoms can often be eased with treatment.Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common 'functional' disorder of the gut. (The gut includes the bowels.) A functional disorder means there is a problem with the function of a part of the body, but there is no abnormality in the structure. So, in IBS, the function of the gut is upset, but all parts of the gut look normal, even when looked at under a microscope. IBS causes various symptoms.Up to 1 in 5 people in the UK develop IBS at some stage in their life. IBS can affect anyone at any age, but it commonly first develops in young adults and teenagers. Women are affected more often than men.
Pain and discomfort may occur in different parts of the abdomen. Pain usually 'comes and goes'. The length of each bout of pain can vary greatly. The pain often eases when you pass stools (motions or faeces) or wind. Many people with IBS describe the pain as a 'spasm' or 'colic'. The severity of the pain can vary from mild to severe, both from person to person, and from time to time in the same person.
Bloating and swelling of your abdomen may develop from time to time. You may pass more wind than usual.
Stools (sometimes called motions or faeces)
Some people have bouts of diarrhoea, and some have bouts of constipation. Some people have bouts of diarrhoea that alternate with bouts of constipation. Sometimes the stools become small and pellet like. Sometimes the stools become watery or ribbony. At times, mucus may be mixed with the stools. You may have a feeling of not emptying your rectum after going to the toilet. Some people have urgency, which means you have to get to the toilet quickly. A 'morning rush' is common. That is, you feel an urgent need to go to the toilet several times shortly after getting up. This is often during and after breakfast.
Other symptoms sometimes occur and include: nausea (feeling sick), headache, belching, poor appetite, tiredness, backache, muscle pains, feeling quickly 'full' after eating, heartburn, and bladder symptoms (an associated 'irritable bladder').
Some people have occasional mild symptoms. Others have unpleasant symptoms for long periods. Many people fall somewhere in between, with flare-ups of symptoms from time to time. Some doctors group people with IBS into one of three categories:
Those with abdominal pain or discomfort, and the other symptoms are mainly bloating and constipation.
Those with abdominal pain or discomfort, and the other symptoms are mainly urgency to get to the toilet and diarrhoea. Those who alternate between constipation and diarrhoea. However, in practice, many people will not fall neatly into any one category, and considerable over-lap occurs.
This is one possibility - You definalty need to get checked out by you doctor. IBS is manageable and doctors can perscribe medication such as Buscapan (this helps to relax your tummy and Voltol (this helps with the pain).
Try not to worry as stress can make IBS worse. This is only a suggestion your doctor really does need to take a look.
Fingers Crossed for you Huni.

Have you checked your symtoms on Webmd? They have a pretty cool symptom checker thing that gives you suggestions about what your illness could be.
Intestinal issues can be caused by lots of things, IBS, gall bladder problems, viruses...etc. You don't mention what area the pain is in, so it's hard to narrow down. Try the Webmd symptom checker.
Good luck!
