Hey, sorry to hear your symptoms - I can relate. Have you tried peppermint capsules? I have started taking them 3 times a day or you can before/ after meals as its supposed to help with the bloating/ improves digestion... worth a try you can buy from super drug or boots (anywhere like that)!

I've never heard of peppermint giving anyone diarrhoea, try enteric coated

sunflower seeds are good and they also help to have good bowel evacuation

Simethicone is the best thing I've ever taken for bloating & has no side effects what so ever.

Sorry for late reply what do you take please

Windeze. You can either get capsules which I think are best for deep down gas or tablet form. They both have the active ingredient of simethicone. Very good & can feel them doing there job as the relief sets in.

I've found enterosgel help all symptoms

Mint tea (I prefer Pukka) is also helpful

Try smaller meals more often, eat slowly and invest in good quality probiotic. I suse alflorex and its taken 3 months to settle my symptons. This advice was from my dietician. Also check the Fodmap diet to eliminate foods which may be fermenting in your guts and causing bloating. Good luck
