A member asked:

Could ibs be the cause of back and side pain? (pain mainly on the left)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain from IBS.: IBS can cause a pain that would usually be described as a bloat. But, I wouldn't just assume this, as certainly other things can cause abdominal pains. Your pains should be investigated to make sure they're due to IBS and not something else.
