Hi everyone,
I'm having these painful sharp pains in my lower stomach quite often, it feels like a tight stomach and then my stomach bloats out. I'm not sure what it is. I talked with a doctor and he didn't really say much. He said how IBS is quite hard to diagnose etc. He also told me to try and cut gluten out of my diet. I really don't think it's allergy related as I've never had an allergy problem before. I'm going to keep a food diary and see if I can link it to anything.
I do get constipated sometimes and get mild diarrhoea.
I went to the pharmacy yesterday and was told that Buscopan cramps tablets might help. I'm only 20 and I do exercise and eat a balanced healthy diet.
Does anyone else have IBS or understand these problems?
