Look up the FODMAP diet on the internet. My gastro has recommended that, as well as probiotics and peppermint pills.

Agreed! I’ve been trying out a low FODMAP diet for a few weeks now and it has definitely helped me. There are stacks of books and recipes online too

I stay away from greasy fatty foods and those that cause a lot of gas. I would get on a prebiotic and a pro biotic. I take Inulation it’s a powder to mix in water and I take body biotics capsules. Your immune system is out of whack as well so I take moducare and elderberry juice etc. to help boost my immune system. If your having a lot of cramping in the abdomin like me I take glutamine. Mine is tolerable now. I also drink sea aloe which is a whole food vitiamin supplement I put this in my water with the inulation and black elderberry extract. Hope this helps!
