Bloating after everything I eat. Pains after food.

[Bicester]

Has anyone been through this please? Any solutions? I have IBS.

Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Hi have you looked into the role of Candida albicans? It has been associated with IBS. Changing your diet and reducing sugar intake is often recommended. Basically it is naturally occurring fungus that lives in the gut but can overgrow and cause numerous health issues. You could get a stool test to see if it’s a problem. Lots of books written about it.

I’ll look into this many thanks.

have you tried intermittent fasting and basic hydration with electrolytes

[Bicester in reply to Starfush]

Could you explain ‘with electrolytes’ please thank you.

[Starfush in reply to Bicester]

Ideally I would just pinch if salt in water and sip that and intermittent fast and see if that helps.

Electrolytes is how they’re sold as a market, but if really low in magnesium the sodium/potassium won’t stick nearly as well.

I am suffering badly with this as well, worse bloating and pain with eating and afterwards. Any fibre, such as milled flax seeds, chia seeds makes it much worse. Sorry I’m no help.
