Anecdotal but whatever: I used to have what doctors diagnosed as IBS for about 10 years. Mostly it was constipation, lots of pain, cramping so bad I want morphine. I even went to the ER mutiple times cause I thought I was dying. One day at the ER a doctor said "lets just do a CT scan" and he said "your appendix is fucked. we're taking it out". What's weird is I never had any pain in the right side of my abdominal when they pressed on it, even that day when they said it needed to be removed. It's been 2 years and I feel like a new human being. Never had a single problem since.
