I too get discomfort in my back when I have my IBS bouts. Mine are wierd. I get the bouts once a month and they last anywhere from 3-8 days. Then once over, I'm fine. Back to normal. The pain can be excrutiating and when the bouts are over, I feel very worn out. Achy and tired. That is just the topper on the cake. Cause during these bouts I am extremely moody. I sympathize with you.

Same thing here

I am experiencing this sensation in my lower back. It started after I began taking a fiber fusion therapy, multi, flax seeds and fish oil (as well as increased water intake) in order to achieve regularity after about a decade of chronic constipation. It worked but along with it came this feeling lile somebody was pusing or standing on my lower back. Not painful though. So I am not sure what is going on. If I should discontinue use of the supplements or what.
