What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pain?
My wife is 75 years old and has abdominal pain since I have known her, about 8 yrs, and it seems to be progressively getting worse. All the doctors that she has seen keep saying it s IBS but I m feeling that something is missing here and it could be something more serious.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syndrome. To exclude other possible causes you can do an ultrasound, a stool test and a complete blood count.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
