Met with my consultant yesterday after he preformed a colonoscopy a month ago. Little bit of history stomach bloating cramping also like a tugging feeling on my left side. All looks normal he says i may have ibs. He wants me to start alforex for 3 months and if after that no improvement i must have more tests done. Just looking for advice etc thanks

I have exactly the same tugging sensation in the left side and bloating. Trying the FODMAP diet, been on it for 8 weeks which has prevented upset tummies
