IBS: you may have irritable bowel syndrome or possible food intolerance. See a gastroenterologist for evaluation and treatment

I'm not sure: BUT, it certainly sounds like some intestinal issue is occurring such as an ulcer,or acid indigestion, or a hiatal hernia, etc. Seethe Dr. for an evaluation and proper diagnosis, so the best treatment can occur for you. Good luck!

Please get checked..: Abdominal pain is never normal, but you have not indicated the intensity, duration, or circumstances of your symptoms. It's not even clear they're all related. Lots of things cause lower quadrant abdominal pain--see my earlier healthtap answers on the subject please. If pain is severe or worsening, don't delay in seeking evaluation & getting treated.

Abdominal sxs: May be gastritis/ H pylori ( bacteria causing gastritis), food intolerances /irritable bowel/ constipation/gallbladder/rarely ovary tumor. Keep food diary ,if foods cause discomfort, see what happens if you avoid for a week ( milk and wheat are 2 culprits). Drink 2-3 liters of water /gatorade /day, high fiber( brown rice,barley, lentils, kale,avocado) Follow up with doctor/urgent care/GI/gyn
