dh's tummy trouble

since christmas dh has had a bloated belly and diarrhoea with cramps (sometimes). he says he feels constipated.
he doesnt have real food tolerances but gets bad wind from rye/rye bread and raw(ish) eggs (mayonaise, custard).
so far he has refused to go to the gp and is fasting this weekend to "clear his system".
I don
t dare to google but it sounds like ibs to me?
if it helps, dc (13m) had diarrhoea twice since early december...

If it's been going on for a while he MUST get it checked out. It could very easily be IBS, a candida infestation or food intolerances, but other things could cause it, too.

Some men are terrible with their health and he's probably thinking the worse when it likely is not. That combined with denial of the situation is not helping him at all.
He needs a diagnosis first and foremost, not fasting.

I would make an appt for him with the GP asap and go along with him to the surgery. Then he cannot back out of the appt at the last minute.
