Enough

Up at 2am, severe bloatingloating and need to go. IBS worse going through menopause. Currently going through tests due to abnormal smear. Had biospy which was clear. Got to have a colcospy next week and ultrasound scan. I'm positive it's all related. Periods are all over the place. Stomach worse when due a period. Been gluten free for two years and veggie which did help a bit. Tried to introduce wheat (OMG). Wish somebody would make a food pill so didn't feel hungry and have to eat!

I feel your pain. My downfall was chickpeas yesterday, I am in pain, drained and want to cry. I recently had colonoscopy and CT scan ( not a joy!) I will have take much more care about what I'm eating as I don't want to go through this again. Hopeful you feel better soon x

I have had to sit upright in bed some nights holding my popped out tummy. Get pains in lower left area of tummy x back. Had scans x both colonoscopy and coloposcopy at different times . Periods def have an impact on symptoms. IBS is the conclusion. Learnt to live with it over the years. Have to be careful what i eat. But often get caught out. All fun and games. Following fodmap diet atm. Hope you get sorted. You are not alone thats for sure. Xx

I have magnesium, probiotics and lactulose to make me go every day now or the pain in my left side is awful. Like go to a&e awful!! Laying on floor crying awful!!

I would suggest asking your doctor to check out your liver. I found some relief in supporting my liver: sickofibs.com/ibs-symptoms/...

Both IBS can cause both. Trapped wind and air, plus blocked bowel through congestion of ceryain foods. Got to be so careful what you eat these days.
