Since April 2019 I have had a weird pressure like pain under my left rib cage. Through various tests the only thing my GI doctor can tell is I have IBS. He put me on dicyclomine for about a month now. It has relieved some of my symptoms such as lower abdominal cramps and the feeling of having to use the restroom but didn't have to. But I feel like this medicine has given me new symptoms such a abdominal pains but higher now. Also, I can just hear my food digesting it's so loud. Has anyone else had… read more
