Intolerance, bug, or stress?

I keep getting horrible IBS flair ups every other week. My Doc has put it down to a tummy bug yet AGAIN. I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary, and am not under any more stress than usual. For months now I have been reluctant to go anywhere because of embarrassing wind (rear end) and so tired. Now awful cramps on a d off. Bad breath . I was taking pro biotic but stopped them, it made no difference. My tum feels rock hard and aches. I am not constipated. Could this be SIBO. Any suggestions. Buscopan had no effect good or bad.

just a thought; could it be Heliobacter Pylori? My hubby had similar symptoms, normally has a cast iron stomach (lucky him) . Got tested by Gp & a course of antibiotics later he was fine.

Also,Gold22 just mentioned a drink called Juvia which has helped her. I’m just looking at the website now
