Is Stomach Discomfort Due To Eating Disorder Or Due To IBS?
Hello, I have been experiencing severe gas, bloating, and belching for over a month now. I have not had a normal period since beg Dec but have had a few days of spotting. Pregnancy test shows negative. Now the stomach discomfort has extended to pain in the upper abdomen at bottom of chest bone. I was diagnosed several years ago with IBS but these symptoms are new and my Bentyl is not helping. Symptoms do not seem to be affected by eating. Any ideas?

Hello
Welcome here.
The symptoms which you have mentioned are most suggestive of IBS.
The treatment would include an antacid like pantoprazole and lactobacillus tablets.
Visit your gastroenterologist for further assessment.
Avoid spicy and fatty meals. Increase fibre content in your diet.
Thanks.
