I have stomach pain (across lower abdomen) roughly every 2 weeks (on average) ... I have been keeping a diary and have not found any obvious triggers. This has been for around 1.5 years. I am a 'senior'..60s.
I have been trying to cut out foods one by one from the FODMAP list to see if any difference is noticeable.
I do not have noticeable diarrhoea or constipation.
When I have pain it varies from a grumble and low pain .. to severe where I cannot sleep or sit comfortably. It goes through to my lower back. I lose my appetite and feel nauseous .. and very tired. Then after about 24/48 hours it goes away again .. until next time. I have had scans (ultra sound, colonoscopy, endoscopy) and the doctors now put it down to IBS.
Anyone have similar?
Thanks.
