Man, I'm scared..please help!

Hi..I'm new here and I am hoping that one of you can help put my mind at ease a bit.  I was diagnosed with IBS a long time ago, and although it has flared up on me often and can be a nusance, I generally can control it to a point.  about 2 weeks ago, I developed diarrhea  and gasy/bloatedness.  Feels like there are millions of bubbles in my stomach.  The diarrhea is now gone, but I am still having gasiness and bubbles.  No pain is involved, but it is annoying nevertheless.  I am kind of scared that maybe this isn't my IBS and I should be concerned?  Is it normal to have this feeling and for this long?  It's been about 2 weeks, as I said.  Has anyone else experienced this? 

Thanks for the reply...:)

No, and in fact, I have been eating a very bland diet for the past few days or so.  I have racked my brain trying to figure out what could be causing this and can't think of anything.

It could just be harmless gas. Have you tried drinking peppermint tea or taking Gas-X to see if it subsides?

If it is really freaking you out you should get it checked out. Better to be safe than sorry.
