I've been suffering some weeks now.

Bit of background, I do suffer from acid and currently on Lansoprazole. I had a gastroscopy which found and ulcer, so lansoprazole was doubled. I then went back for a gastroscopy and it was noted things were much better. However past few months I have had terrible back pain.. lower back. Two visits to the Dr Who stated it was muscle pain. However a bloated abdominal cramping is apparent too. I thought the problem was bread so I completely cut it from my diet and I found symptoms improved greatly. But at times almost always at night every night I just get terrible lower back pain and abdominal cramping where I just feel bloated and feel as though I need to keep passing wind. Can anyone relate? Cannot get in with my Dr due to hours I work.

     If you felt better after excluding bread, maybe you are gluten intolerant.  Ask your doctor for a celiac test. You may also have non celiac gluten intolerance.  This is also common with IBS.

    I agree with Philippa, maybe you have gluten intolerant. If not, I think you got ibs. What about cow milk? I've got ibs more than 2 years, and I can't drink cow milk, and can't eat white bread. I can only eat rye or wholemeal bread. And drink rice, almond, coconut milk. Before it find out(IBS) I had the same pain like you, only at night.
