Stomach Pain On Lower Right Side, Diarrhea. Have IBS

Hi, I have been having chronic stomach pain on the lower right side over the last 3months or so, I have been to hospital thinking it was appendicitis but it wasn't. The pain has continued and I have diarrhea at least twice a day. I have been told I have ibs but, this doesn't feel like it did when I was first diagnosed with ibs.
Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
It can be caused by various abdominal disorders .Most common are appendicitis or ibd but it may indicate diverticulitis,mesenterial lymphadenitis, inflammatory bowel disease,enterocolitis etc. So if pain persists you should do more detailed gastroenterologic work up. I dont think this is sign of something serious at this point.try to change your dietary habits and see will it improve.

Wish you good health. Regards.
