What Causes Abdominal Pain And Bloating?

Morning, I am confused about my symptoms, which I think are from IBS. Bloating, abdominal pain caused by gas, which when relieved is sort of explosive, puts out slimy mucous. Occasionally a small poop. I am monitoring my food and liquid intake, and there is no specific pattern. Can you help?

Hello,

The probable reasons for gas and bloating in your case can be due to poor enzymatic activity in the gut which may be genetic.

These symptoms are also observed in irritable bowel syndrome which has also a genetic predisposition.

There can be other reason like intolerance to foods and sugar-rich diet which can cause this gas and bloat. Lactose intolerance in taking milk is a case of such kind.

Your history is incomplete yet you provide clue through symptoms and it is the case of irritable bowel syndrome most probably.

I suggest you take up following preventive measures: Avoid sugars in diet or I say reduce intake.

Take light meals.

Take water after meals.

Take plain water early in the morning every day before meals.

Use fibres in diet that will make your gut healthy.

Try turnip in the diet it is digestive.

Avoid stress if you feel engaging in activities.

Identify foods that cause it and substitute those with alternative foods. Remember prevention is better than cure. In the case of gas and bloating or gut mobility, patients habits play more role than drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR, Dentist
