Bloating After Having Heavy Food, Sore Lower Tummy, Suffering From Bad Wind, Cramps. Is This IBS?
I think I suffer with ISB. Havent had any tests as yet though.
If I eat to much heavy food I feel very bloated, sore in the lower part of my tummy, pressure and feel like wanting to go to the loo all the time. I suffer with very bad wind and it gets worse when I go to bed. Sleeping on my side is impossible because its so uncompfortable. I only go to the loo once a day, but often have to race incase I dont make it. It makes camping trips and going away quite hard sometimes.

hello,
Thank you for consulting HCM.The symptoms you have mentioned are close to IBS but if you need to be diagnosed correctly you have to be ruled out from other diseases with same symptoms like bacterial overgrowth,parasitic infections.lactose intolerance ,celiac diseases and more.And coming to the treatment i is according to the symptoms your are having if it is constipation based ibs then you need to take stool softners and if there is diarrhea you must take anti diarrheals.Fiber diet will help to reduce the symptoms and some will have food intolerances so better to find the food to which you are intolerant as they will affect in IBS.Thank you.
