Melted butter on toast causes stomach upset

Hi guys. I need some advice. I woke up this morning with hunger pains in my tummy so I made some toast. I like butter that's melted into the toast anyway if I have butter in beans or toast or on bread with ham etc it causes me to have really bad stomach disconfirt now does anyone else have this problem? If I have cheese or a cheese toasty that is fine which I don't understand it's strange. Now I leave my butter in the cupboard I don't put it in the fridge as it gets to hard to spread could this be the reason why I get upset stomach? It sometimes causes diarehaa. I've also noticed when I have something that upsets my tummy I have tintitas bugging in the ears not sure if that is caused by my anxiety or linked to my stomach problems. Anyone have any ideas thanks.

It could be to do with the fat intake .. I have tinnitus and have always had this since i remember

That's what I don't get. Cheese is okay tho it's so strange.

Butter and cheese are different dairy products produced by different strains of lactic acid, bacteria as starter culture and different fractions of whole milk as starting substrate.

Yep I get that a lot before I quit smoking I was fine but then When I quit smoking my anxiety got worst then I was diagnosed with IBS which I've never had before. My anxiety and IBS is that bad I can't even go out and socialise without having a panic attack and having really bad nausea so I don't go out much. Certain foods make my IBS bad sometimes I feel the need to go to the toilet and it really hurts other times I can't go.

Yeah I'm going to book an appointment with the doctor on Monday

Hypnosis may help with the anxiety - just a thought. Personally I can eat butter and cheese my problem is the good stuff i.e. vegetables and fruit. Also possibly Tinnitus could cause you to suffer nausea - not sure whether this condition could cause a slight imbalance in the ears. I take Stugeron travel sick tablets if I have nausea, which I sometimes get with IBS - they work a treat.

But I have to say, well done on giving up smoking, that can't of been easy.

Best of luck and hope that you manage to find something for your anxiety.

I think it was quitting smoking that made me have these problems it sucks really.

in reply to macman_92

It certainly does suck, you take one thing away that is really bad for you but does benefit in one way and that's smoking relaxes you. Meditation/Rescue Remedy, not sure if you have thought of either of these?

Hope you find something that works for you.

Check out the fodmap diet, cheese is ok, beans are not. You could be reacting to the wheat in the bread

You see that's the thing I can eat bread fine if I have biscuits with wheat in them it's fine although shreddies I can't have as they upset my tummy. It's strange because I can eat certain things with wheat in.

Most people are able to tolerate a piece of white bread or a small amount of wheat but to much can lead to symptoms
