Is this just me ? Please help !

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty stressed this year, so I'm wondering if it's causing this new symptom ?

The ibs isn't too bad, but every night when I go to bed my stomach starts churning and bubbling with gas. I wake up a few times in the night and it's stopped, but every morning without fail I wake up bursting to pass a huge amount of wind.

It's not painful, just annoying.

Am I the only one who gets this ?

    hi lizzi, [after this year i wouldn't blame you for feeling like this! it's most likely stress, so try to do what you can to lessen your stress levels. good luck, you could speak to your doctor if you think you have to.

    Hi Liz, you're definitely not alone. I have exactly the same problem as you. Not bad ibs, but lots of tummy churning and gas, especially at night. I sometimes struggle to sleep because of it. I have found its linked to the types of food I eat. Dairy, starches (bread, rice and pasta esp.) and cabbage/brocolli/bean vegetables seem to aggravate it the most. What seems to work for me in bringing down the symptoms is taking a daily probiotic and 2 scoops of L-glutamine powder (the stuff the bodybuilders use) in water. It might be worth giving it a try. Hope this helps.
