Have you tried FODMAP elimination diet. Have you tried gluten and/or dairy free.

[Denise49 in reply to Hidden]

No have not tried that must look it all up thanks

[Hidden in reply to Denise49]

You can get the Monash University app on Fodmaps if interested. They developed it and I found using it helped me immensely

Have you tried probiotic drinks or yoghurt

[Denise49 in reply to Hidden]

Yes do that all the time makes no difference

I've suffered too for years. But my symptoms have changed recently. I'm being more limited to what I can eat. Bread and chocolates really affect me now. Also I'm 50 and when I ovulate my symptoms get worse.

The last 2 days have been awful. Bad wind muscle cramps and lower back pain and pains in my bottom

I don't eat bread are chocolate only the odd time but mine is there all the time I just don't know what to do

I have cramps due to chemotherapy for leukaemia. Lots of wind and soft motions.

I eat bananas and steer clear of full fat milk. Other than that normal diet. Don't touch booze. Lager shandy at a push.
