I Am Taking Medicine For Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I Am Having Pain
Hello, I have been diagnosed with IBS but I don't think it's right because I have a continued to have abdominal pain . It just started up about three days ago, and I've been on Bentyl for about two weeks. I take one capsule thirty minutes before every meal , as it says to. Is there anything else it could be? Also, I missed my period for five months straight after having a regular one for about a year and half. It just came back last month, and I have never had sex. I'm not sure if this is irrelevant but it's always seemed a little strange; my hands and feet are cold all the time. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the query
IBS is irritable bowel syndrome which can only be done after excluding all other causes for your problem.
Have u undergone colonoscopy and an endoscopy? I dont think u have because u wud have mentioned it otherwise.
Since u have been missing your periods, plus having abdominal pains, plus cold feet. I see something which are multiple medical problems. I best thing would be to get admitted and evaluated thoroughly.
Seek admission in a multi speciality hospital only
Have a healthy life
