My stomach felt really sore with sharp pains and a little diarrhoea.i have ibs and i am wondering if it was an ibs attack. i was also on my period!!

See your doctor if..: I would like to tell you this is nothing to worry about, but a physician always pays attention when a patient is worried enough to bring a problem to our attention. If the attack is consistent with prior IBS flares, that would be important to note. The exact location and amount of pain, timing of pain, accompanying symptoms such as nausea, fever, blood in stool would all be necessary data points.
