Hello, I was told I have diverticulosis after a colonoscopy a few years ago, with a suggestion of irritable bowel.

Like everyone today, I'm under a lot of stress, but these symptoms are new.

I get an awful lot of wind when I go to bed every night, and wake up every day absolutely bursting to pass it, my stomach is so painful. Usually there's also a bowel movement, but these are getting much smaller in diameter, though around the same amount.

I have no other symptoms like blood or weight loss, but I would love to be able to stop the wind.

Does anyone have any advice please ? I'd be so pleased to know it's not just me who's like this.
