I have IBS and was wondering if any of you know the best things to take for gas.
I’ve had all the checks done at the hospital for anything more sinister, and I try and stick to a mainly low fodmap diet but I do sometimes stray from this as it can be difficult to stick to 100% all the time.
I’m lactose intolerant so do try and avoid that 99% of the time though. I don’t eat much processed food and I avoid things like fizzy drinks, alcohol and caffeine.
I am always SO gassy. My stomach bloats each evening to the point I look heavily pregnant. I’ll then wake up in the morning with a flat stomach again. When I pass gas it’s always really loud (although rarely smells). Is there anything I can take for this as it’s getting embarrassing how often I need to let rip. If I hold it in I feel unwell and get bad stomach pains.
I already take a probiotic and turmeric every day. And I also take buscopan if I’m feeling unwell and I drink peppermint tea. I’ve heard good things about activated charcoal, peppermint oil capsules and windeze tablets. Does anyone have any experience with these?
Thanks for your help
