I’m always gassy and I get constipated and get pain trying to have a bum. When I finally do, it turns into diarrhea. I take loperamide to stop. My stomach stays sore after and I feel if I eat it’s not going to digest. This is what happened today and I didn’t even eat much. I had two toasts with spray butter and a chocolate chip muffin. I guess it was the chocolate but it would’ve happened anyway because my stomach was crampy and bloated because of the constipation. I’m so sick of ibs.

It sounds like something you're eating or drinking is causing this flare in you. We all have certain foods, preservatives, processed meats, even medications that cause this in us. Mine is a long list but to name a few I can't have dairy, Gluten, processed meats such as lunch meats, fiber is a big no no. Some docs try to push an IBS sufferer to have more fiber but for many of us that is like our worst enemy. I have such a hard time with anything that contains medium to high fiber like many veggies, cereals, etc. What I've done is found out what causes bad gas and pains then I avoid it. I hope this helps you out a little. I totally get you with the constant gas and bloating. I hope you can find out what is causing your flare up.

Thank you Annette.x

Yes. I feel bloated all the time.
