I am 49 and have had IBS for years but the last few years it has become worse.
I did have a clear colonoscopy, gastroscope and ct scan in 2019. Gastroenterologist says it’s just IBS and can’t offer any help other than standard IBS treatment.
I follow the low fodmap diet, listen to gut directed hypnotherapy, I exercise, drink mint tea and take mine tablets etc but still have daily symptoms.
The one symptom which is daily and drives me absolutely insane is the loud gurgling, growling, grumblings from my stomach and bowels, no matter if I have eaten or not. It sounds like my digestive system is so angry. The growling even wakes me during the night and can keep me awake for several hours.
I also get so much gas, especially in the evening. I am quite slim but come 9pm I look 8 months pregnant and it’s so painful until I can pass the wind. As I mention, I follow the low fodmap diet, I avoid all gas forming foods and beverages so have no idea why I am so damn gassy.
Does anyone else suffer from this? Have you managed to control it?
