Awful wind

Hi all,

I have awful wind, rumbling stomach all the time, lower back ache. It doesn't matter what I eat, even a drink of water makes me burp straight after.

Been suffering for about 4 months now. Any idea on how to improve this? The dr proscribed the usual IBS meds but it didn't not effect my wind at all.

You could maybe try cutting out lactose first and see if your condition improves.

Yeah I'm vegetarian going vegan and I'd say eggs too cos they can cause bloating & wind.😊

Try the FOD map diet more details can be googled and have some blood tests

Too many carbs can be a real problem it may help to stop any after 7pm

Convince your GP to investigate more for you to find out reason

Good luck

Try Gastrazyme tablets - I get mine from a company called Revital. They work really well for all sorts of gastric problems especially the burping.

Just be warned that not only are the pills dark green, stools will be too!

I've had blood tests and a ultra sound although that was just for my ovaries as I was worried about ovarian cancer as it's in the family but everything was fine.

I'll try the diet but as I said it's all the time even if I've not eaten anything?

You could try using prebiotic with probiotic supplements, after a week of taking them I am finding my ibs and gas much improved.

Have you been tested for lactose intolerance and coeliac (wheat) intolerance - you need to get those done at the doctors. You need to keep eating the foods until you are tested as they will show a reaction. Also a food diary is essential to keep a track of what causes the problems.

Not what you're looking for?
