Hi Joanne.
Since you are a known patient of chronic IBS, it is possible that you are having more stress and / or anxiety at the moment.
This is the most important cause of increase in your symptoms of feeling of full in the upper abdomen and feeling wind. The feeling of abdomen being punctured and and goosebumps all over can be due to intestinal infection.

I would advise you the following :
Take a 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole.
Continue probiotic for a long time.
Stop all the foods and beverages that increase your problems.
Control of the stress / anxiety by yoga, naturotherapy or medicines if needed.

If there is no response go for the investigations of the blood, urine, stool, colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen to find or to rule out any probable causes of your problems.
