Can ibs mimic appendicitis; lower right abdo pain and nausea? if yes, why? does ibs affect the appendix area? ct showed thickened transverse colon

IBS and colon: Colon thickening needs you to follow up with a gastroenterologist to get this checked and even biopsied. Irritable bowel symptoms usually improve with change in diet and taking probiotics. Keep me posted on the follow up with gastro.
