Symptoms:
Abdominal distention
Gas - intestinal... noisy. and embarrassing.
Inconsistent bowel habits - some days it's fine, some days it's constipation, some days it's a little more loose
I have seen 3 different doctors, one who was in internal medicine. All three have said it's just gas, but it can't be. I have tried all of the OTC anti-gas meds and none of them have helped. I have tried cutting out gluten products, and while I lose weight this way the gas and bipolar bowel are still there. One doctor gave me a sample of some probiotics... didn't help. A lot of the time it gets worse if I'm stressed or nervous.
This has been going on for more than 6 years now and I'm tired of doctors saying the same thing because I have tried everything they've suggested. I want to live comfortably again... this really keeps me from going to conferences because I get so embarrassed from my GI tract making noises. It's not normal.
Can anyone help?
