    I too am in this gang. I've had IBS for a couple of decades, bread is not good for me, never onions, garlic, beans, pulses, cauli, brussels, cabbage, lentils are evil. I don't eat pasta or rice through choice anyhow.

    Bloating and wind are the worst for me, I feel tired (just had bloods redone) also I now get silent reflux which I'd never had before peri and this is my worst sympton with the burning mouth it causes.

      Hi middlemuddle

      I dont eat much veg just carrots and garden peas...i cant eat salad stuff because that will kick off my guts too and i eat bread in moderation ...

      I too am always full of wind and that can be so embarrasing some.times ...but i have to let go or ill be full of wind pains lol...

      The doctor perscibed omeprazole for my reflux and indigestion and I find they are really good ..x

      Yes tried omeprazole, made mine worst, had endoscopy, no problems found so I just put up with it. It is just the burning mouth which causes me a problem.

      I can eat kale, asparagas, spinach fine which all are good for my iron and folate deficiencies.
