Tired and bloated all the time!

So I've been so bloated for about two weeks now. And also noticing I get really tired after eating just the smallest of things. I've also had doorway diarrhoea AND constipation at the same time!

I drink two litres of water day.
I drink 1 or 2 coffees in the morning
I eat mainly couscous, salmon, feta cheese and tomatoes for lunch
I eat muesli for breakfast.
I snack on fruit
I drink wine once a week
I have a very light dinner - something snacky mainly.

I gave up smoking three weeks ago.

ANY IDEA?

Have you tried cutting out gluten? And / or dairy?

Go to the doctor. I had similar symptoms and a blood test showed a raised CA125 level indicating ovarian cancer, I’m now waiting for a radical hysterectomy (although cancer is not 100% confirmed yet). My ONLY symptom was bloating.

There are so many things it could be otherwise, IBS/infection etc so it’s very likely to be something minor but I will forever lobby women with symptoms like these to request blood tests.

@AGreatUsername I actually had loads of tests such as these a few months back because I had an extra period + other things. They said it's a "hormonal blip", possibly due to the vaccine.

@Cheerfulcharlie I haven't, no. I kind of figured it may be something else as literally started a few weeks back, and had never happened at all before?

I had some of those powder fibre things for a week too. I wonder if I've been having too much fibre!
