Is Numb Thumb, Change In Bowel Movement, Constipation And Abdominal Pain Symptoms Of IBS?

Hi there,

I am a 22 year old female, and I find I have symptoms after I eat any foods. I have been on gluten free, I was tested, that came back negative. But I still find I get very confused, my right hand thumb goes numb, even after a workout. I get the chills, and I generally feel very tired and no energy. This has been going on for a while now and I am getting irritated as I can't seem to find the route cause. Also my bowels change a lot, I was always constipated, but now I am going quite often, and I always find I get pain in my upper left abdomen. Could it be IBS?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your problem, in fact you became apprehensive, due to your thumb problem, but this could be due to some never compression and will go away soon and does not recovered then it has to be investigated and for sure nothing bad will come, because you became very conscious so that affect you GI system and causes symptoms but for sure this is not IBS this will go away as soon as you find the better way for your thumb take care and have good day.
