Are Nausea, Lack Of Appetite And Heart Burn Symptoms Of IBS?

I ve been having heartburn, nausea and some stomach cramps. I also had some diarrhea about 3 weeks ago that lasted a few hours but haven t had regular looking stools since then. I continue to have nausea, lack of appetite and some heartburn. I started taking Omeprazole 5 days ago and thought I was feeling better until today. I have had some chronic constipation (idopathic) for years but now these symptoms are quite different. Do you think it s IBS?

according to history provided you are having Acid Reflux disease. for that you can continue with the Omeprazole or Rabeprazole also can be taken. constipation is one of the cause for the Acid Reflux if you are obese than reduce your weight. avoid excess spicy foods. pillow should be put below head while sleeping. Go to the bed two hour after the meal. If you are taking stress then it could be the functional bowel problem. get your stool examine with the stool routine micro examination. Consult gastroenterologist for examination.
