Increasing upper GI problems?!?!?!?

Well I posted my long...very long story before.  I am sure no one remebers so:

I have had IBS since I was about 14 years old and I am 23 now.  I am also in the medical field.  I had all the tests you can think of.  EGD with biopsy and colonoscopy with biopsy, blood tests, stool test, ect.  All negative.  GI doc told me to take fiber pills.  I did that.  It helps more than I thought.  This was 4 months ago.  Now I am having increased pain the the stomach area.  Right under my ribs on the left.  I have had increasing nausea and anorexia (lack of appetite.... anorexia nervosa is the eating disorder).  This comes with less lower GI symptoms then b4.  I still have urgency problems but my frequency problems seem to be solved with the fiber.  I have heard that this can go with IBS, but it is new to me.  I also have heartburn.  I go to the GI monday.  I have also been having burning durning BMs and slightly yellow/almost orange color to my stool.  Could be an increase in bile.  May need something like Nexium.... but I am also going to ask for a drug for cramping and D.  They are not supposed to be taken together - so I hear.  Anyone have any experience with it?  By the way TUMS is not working when I take it.  Neither is pepto or pepcid.

I take calcium and Tagament used to work when it was RX strength.

yea if he gives it to me.... if not ill have to steal the samples from my work.

My gall bladder pain was in my right shoulder and across my diaphram. Good luck trying to get most G.I.s to agree that's gall bladder pain. They think gall bladder pain can only happen in the right rib cage, but my mother--who is a nurse--says pain can always radiate--which is what mine did.

hmmmmmmm.... this is only sometimes with the yelowish stool. And also - no pain in the gall bladder area. Also no what is called "rebound tenderness" when you push on the gall bladder area - this is a sign that the gall bladder has problems. Now this could be the problem with my new onset of nausea too... I will see what he says. He should have seen something on my EGD .... I would think. They go somewhat into the gallbladder.

Hi GAWZ,
Prior to my DH's gallbladder coming out because of stones, he didn't associate his pains with any particular side of his abdomen. He says that he had a whole abdomen pain and it was very intense. We don't have much on the left upper side of our abdomens. You may also request your doctor check your pancreas and spleen. An enlarged spleen can cause sharp pains on the upper left quadrant of the abdomen.
