What Causes Lower Abdominal Bloating With The History Of IBS?

I m 50 years old male and was diagnosed with ibs in 1989. For the past 8 months? I ve had excessive lower abdominal bloating.Some times I have pain with the bloating. This starts around 11am. It feels like a big gas bubble. I found that when I m feeling bloated like this if I lay down on my back for around ten minutes,I feel pressure release and feel better. Hope i describe it good enough for you understand. Thanks

Hello,

The bloating with lower abdomen discomfort indicates Inflammatory bowel syndrome related sequences. Following measures will help you to better recovery path:
- Consume more liquids
- High fiber diet
- Avoid all spices, non veg, dairy fat
- Bulk forming laxative as Bran or Psyllium
- Prokinetic drugs as Ipratroprium
- Proton pump inhibitor as Rabeprazole or Pantoprazole
- Avoid stress, anxiety
- Avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming

Should discuss the need of a colonoscopy with your doctor as per the progress of the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
