I think I've always suffered from bloating and flatulence , but for the last six months or so its developed into more of a problem. From seemingly nowhere my stomach will start to inflate like a balloon and have awful painful cramps. It will stay this way for two days and will then start to deflate. I go to the toilet and it can be a bit loose but not diarrhoea. I also get terrible javelin up the bum pain which I've been tracking and may be linked to ovulation.
Yesterday out of the blue I had horrendous pain under my left rib, that I could hardly breathe through. It was like diarrhoea cramping but in a different position and led to me being sick which relieved it, rather than going to the toilet. I did eventually get diarrhoea a few hours later.
I feel like I've been hit by a bus today, and stomach is huge and aching again. I've had bloods done and nothing came up. Is this IBS? If so, will the GP give me tablets that can dissipate the gas? I'm addicted to bread and was extremely stressed when this happened yesterday. Any advice? I'm seeing the GP in two weeks.
