Fatigue after eating. Ibs

[E3178]

Hi, I have long term fibro. Pain, ibs, fatigue etc.I suffer with bloating, constipation and fatigue which follow most meals especially after breakfast when I have to wait often up to 2 or more hours before fatigue gradually goes although it is longer lasting lately.

Food does seems to affect me less as the day goes on though.

I have to tackle most of my housework before breakfast or I can't get it done.

I am just getting over my breakfast of cornflakes, almond milk and dairy free yoghurt which brought on the fatigue, horrible stomach sensations and nausea within 15mins. I can hear my stomach still gurgling after 2 hours. My stomach was emptied yesterday after adding more fibre to my diet trying to combat the constipation . I get stomach ache a lot but not enough to rock up to A&E, so I am lucky there.

Been taking aflorex for 2 months but no help so far.

I find this fatigue so debilitating.

I feel that my stomach is not happy with most food and I think fibre isn't the way to go for me. I am not a celiac as was tested a few years ago and I mostly stick to sourdough bread or plain ordinary white. No seeds, no fruit, nothing rough or pips. Hardly any salad stuff and small amounts of veg, ,unfortunately!

I also have to avoid dairy products but they just seem to affect my skin with rashes etc.,

I have had these problems along with fibro pain for many years but it's worse lately. Maybe my age, 81.

I have always been a person that engages with life and belong to various things. Tai chi, darts, pool and lunches out with friends.

I am wondering if anyone of you lovely fibro warriors have found that food brings on almost immediate fatigue that last for ages. I have always had this problem to some extent for years but it seems to have got worse.

I am on a fairly low dose of pregablin.

I have mebeverine and use over the counter stuff as well. I also take a small herbal digestive enzyme before each meal. Tried doctors over the years but have given up.

Sorry this so long.
