Hi - Twice in the past week, I had severe cramping after dinner on left abdomen side. It s a painful tightness that comes and goes for about an hour until I hear a gurgling and feel movement followed by diarhea. At the onset my mouth starts to salivate like I m about to vomit too. I m thinking IBS, but not sure. I m a 55 year old male, no blood in stool. I take 50 mg Losartan for 1 year with no problem. I didn t eat anything unusual and I ve been taking Metamucil every night before bed for past 30 years. Not sure what to do.
