Hi All
6 months ago I started suffering with painful excessive gas and abdominal cramps that were relentless. I saw my GP after a few weeks who did a load of blood tests all normal and a FIT test which was negative. It resolved for 4 weeks but now its back. I have no other symptoms so they won't send me for further tests but I also cant go on in pain like this. I've never suffered from IBS but im wondering if its all menopause related... any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi. I’ve had IBS for years. Gotten worse over the last few years (I too think due to menopause). All tests come back normal. I’ve been to the GPs with terrible pain and symptoms. They have just recently put me on anti spasm tablets which do help but don’t get rid of all the cramps.
