I’ve been having excessive amounts of gas. I’ll be in class trying to hold it in but I can feel the gas moving through my stomach and it will make these loud noises. When I go to the bathroom and release I still feel severe discomfort in my stomach. I’ve been vegan for about a year, and I’ve recently cut gluten out of my diet in hopes it would improve which it did a little bit. However, it’s always unpredictable some days I’ll feel normal (rarely) but I’ll try to poop in the morning and sometimes I do but then I get excessive gas afterwords. In addition, I never feel like I’m done pooping, ever. I always feel like there’s more but It won’t come out. I’ve tried activated charcoal to allievate gas but it’s hasnt helped, and I’ve tried drinking more water and trying apple cider vinegar, still no change. I feel so hoplesss because I don’t want to keep living this, always being in discomfort, excessive amounts of gas and bloating, constipation, and never feeling like I’m done pooping. It’s  absolutely draining.

    There are various diets you can try, your GP will be able to help with these. Your GP will be able to address the cause and if needed send you for tests

    Make your appointment, make a list of your problems and if you have any ideas of the foods causing it tell hime

    Make a list of hat you eat over a week that will also help you

    Have you seen a doctor and asked about IBS?

      I went to urgent care abou a year ago and they said that i could have ibs but they just told me to watch my diet. Ever since then, I haven’t seen a doctors but I feel like I have to see a gastroenterologist.

      Was the Low Fodmap diet suggested to you?   I would ask to see a gastroenterologist and ask for tests to rule out other causes.
