Generally the lower abdomen or around the belly button.
Hi,

IBS refers to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS features bowel wall muscle spasms and cramps. The usual location of this discomfort is peri umbilical. Around the navel. Middle of the abdomen. This is usual. Pain is generalized in this mid-abdominal space.

IBS pain arises from the distal colon, so the pain is almost always located below the belly button, sometimes more toward the left lower quadrant.
