IBS symptoms

[medhelphg]

over the passed few years I have noticed that when I drink beer I have problems with rectal gas !

could I possibly have some form of IBS.
If I switch to red wine the problem seems to go.
I still need to try to find out what is wrong with me...

carbanation causes gas!!!!       the study I read said three times the normal amount
dont drink it!               you do have some part of your bowel that is not moving things as well for the gas to cause problems,.....I call this on the verge,   thats because things still move but cause troubles,.....while ibs can be very extremely painful   everyone who has it has a bit differant symtoms, while one has the runs all the time others have a combo of symtoms , gas is always a instigator  , leave the carbonation alone as well as other gas causing foods,.......SUGAR feeds bad stuff!!  try to cut it out or down or switch to spenda ,........get checked for worms,......change your eating habbits,....
think about putting fruit in a bag and letting it rot,....the bag blows up,.....same as  in your gut,....dont eat fruit and meat or meat and salad,......eat smaller meals,.snack instead of eat,.why? because it gives time for your tubby to pass it better

thanks for replying. ive been so stupid just trying to live with it and not seeing my doctor and now i am on an 8 month trip of the world so i am going to need to pay to see doctors whilst abroad... lesson learnt ... when you need help ... get it!

In general i dont experience stomach or bowel pain although very occassionally some bowel pain. the problem seems to be just when consuming carbonated drinks....

What are your other symptoms?  Do you experience pain?  IBS is very painful at times.  Have you talked to your primary care doctor and gotten a referral to see a GI?  You really should discuss the symptoms you're having with your doctor first of all.
