I suffer from lower abdominal cramps on a daily basis. i've been to the er three times and found i was only constipated. is this ibs?

IBS: Ibs can cause different symptoms for different people. Some feel bloated with pain and/or cramping andexperience constipation while others experience diarrhea, or both. Some experience it daily, while others experience a few times a month. Different foods and even stress can trigger episodes. Make an appointment with your pcp to determine the cause of your cramping and available treatments.

No: No this is constipation! if you are over 50 and have never had a colonoscopy, you need one. If the exam is normal then get on a hi fiber diet, 20-25 grams of fiber per day, drink 80-`1-- ounces of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids daily and increase your fluiods if you do strenuous work or excercise. Do not use harsh laxatives.
