A million things. This media should not be used for medical diagnosis. GO to your doctor.

Oh yeah, IBS is AWFUL and can go on for weeks if you don't take the proper care of it. Find a good digestive care doctor.

I think you should go to your GP. IBS can be crippling, My mom suffers badly and can be in agony for days.

As you didn;t complete the antibiotics they did not finish their job - so it is quite possible that the infection had then has now spread. Do not stop taking anibiotics before the end of the course - if they are making you feel bad go back to the doctor (or just pick up the phone & talk to them!) so they can try you on something else. Go back to the doctor

I would seek a second opinion. Obviously something's not right and when the ER says irritable bowel syndrome what they really mean is that they do not know.

I doubt that IBS would have such an acute onset and nausea. You need a second opinion. Go to a doctor or different emergency room ASAP. This can be caused by an ectopic pregnancy, ureteritis, peritonitis, appendicitis, or something going wrong in your intestines or ovaries. Never stop taking antibiotics before you're supposed to. The infection can easily spread when you do that.

I would def get a 2nd opinion it sounds like appendicitis i had it when i was young and had very similar symptoms to you my brother also had it but when he went to doctor first they did all sorts of tests and said they couldn't see anything and sent him home he went back later to different doc and they said his appendix were near rupturing so get it checked with someone else to be sure

you should never stop taking antibiotics before you're finished with them. Not only do you not kill all the bacteria, but you create stronger bacteria and make it harder for antibiotics to be effective in the future. Could be irritable bowel. I have it, but I've heard symptoms can differ in people. Could be endometriosis - I would check with your GYN. (It's when tissue that's supposed to grow INSIDE the uterus also grows on the outside and adheres to other organs. Kind of like spider webs. It can be removed with minor surgery.) For future reference - when you're on an antibiotic in the future, take "Acidophilos" with it. It's a supplement that's in yogurt. It helps to balance the good bacteria that the antibiotics are killing off.

sounds like appendicitis and if it ruptures, you could die without treatment. GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW
