At 3-4 months I have stomach pain and pain/burping at bowel movements. It's exactly like the IBS symptoms

Question

Irritable bowel syndrome rarely occurs about 1-2 times every 3-4 months. Is this possible? Could it be irritable bowel syndrome? When it happens to me every 3-4 months there is no recurring thing that makes me feel like this

Hello Madam, I am sorry to read about your troubles! At first glance, I think we should try to find a possible cause. What I suggest for the next 4 to 6 weeks is to keep a diary where you will write down everything you consume as well as the quantities, but also the activities you undertake, and your state of mind (fatigue, stress, etc.). In the second column you can write down the occurrence and extent of the symptoms. This will put you in a better position to identify possible causes. This may take several weeks so I suggest being diligent. If no cause can be suggested, I suggest consulting a physician to get a thorough evaluation of the situation. I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist Unfortunately, it is impossible to determine this with certainty without a thorough medical evaluation.
