IBS struggle

Hi. I've been struggling with IBS for a few years now. I am also allergic to dairy products. I try and have a healthy diet but it is very difficult. I eat low FODMAP dinners most days and have low FODMAP lunches when I'm at work. I take biomel powder in my banana and peanut butter smoothie twice a day. I am on alverine citrate twice a day, but I just constantly feel bloated, constipated, gassy and just fat in general. My stomach is always rock hard and occasionally hurts. I feel like it's affecting my mental wellbeing as I just don't feel attractive (even though my boyfriend has reassured me that's not the case). Is there any suggestions for me to try and lose all of this gas trapped in my stomach from my IBS.
