Gas symptoms with ibs
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've had IBS for years. This year I had a three month bout with a lot of
gas symptoms, such as noisy belly, frequent burping, nausea and gas from the other
end too! It was the first time I've bad for such an extended period. Saw my GI
Who gave me an anti gas diet. Eventually all symptoms cleared up.I
also ent back on lexapro for chronic anxiety over, which I think helped a lot.
Now gas symptoms are starting up again as I've been feeling stressed lately again.
Does anyone else react to street this way?

when i first got ibs i had terrible gas. low fodmap diet practically eliminated it. also stop drinking fizzy drinks, dont chew gum and watch out for artificial sweeteners, especially sugar alcohols (anything ending in 'ol' eg xylatol, manitol etc)

I'm new here but I wanted to share because I was forever told my sympoms were IBS. Every doctor told me IBS and pushed me out the door. IBS is just what they call your symptoms when they can not find an exact cause. I felt neglected and pushed aside. Finally as if the universe were looking out for me an old college roomie mentioned that I should be tested for Fructose Malabsorption. I took a hydrogen test and it came back positive. Basically all I had to do was stay away from fructose. You know the stuff that is in EVERYTHING hint hint "High fructose corn syrup" artifical sweeteners like "sorbitol" things with uneven amounts of fructose and glucose like mangos starfruit apples and grapes. Basically you meet with a nutritionist that specializes in fructose malabsorption and follow a strict diet. It took me about two months but I'm back to normal. No gas and no runny stool. I hope this helps you as well as others. Kind regards, -Dean-
