Hi,
You should get an ultrasound abdomen on a fasting state. Get tests for pancreas as serum amylase, serum lipase, serum alkaline phosphatase.
If all come, normal, then IBS can be diagnosed by applying Rome III criteria.
For time being, take foods with low oligosaccharides.
For pain, tab Drotaverine.
Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
