Hi,greetings from HCM..bloating and cramping pain in the abdomen can be a symptom of IBS,but it can be due to some serious problems also.Since you have undergone a sigmoidoscopy and not found ulcer you have to undergo other tests like fecal occult blood test colonoscopy and contrast ct scan of the abdomen.if all these tests are negative you may be suffering from IBS probably
