there is no particular connection between ibs and acid reflux. people with ibs do not usually have digestive problems that involved the stomach. typically the problems are with the colon. however in some people we do see ibs and acid reflux occur together but there is no know or specific association between the two. it sounds like you have been diagnosed with acid reflux. if you look at some of the symptoms there may be some overlap with ibs but just cause you have acid reflux doesn't mean you have ibs. <link> i hope this helps!
are acid reflux and ibs related? . went to the dr with stomach pain back pain towardard my chest on left side. dr. took blood work no arthritis. took x-ray of chest found "mild lung cloud". told me i had h pylori finished prepak (14 days) took ct scan of chest. diagonosed "lung fibrosis". saw pulmonologist she says the reading was incorrect and over diagnosed. instead of her seeing pulmonary fibrosis she says it is just "scarring of the lung". nothing to worry. i still have all the pains. md put me on omerprazole.
