Hi. I'm 44 and I've had IBS for over 20 years. I've tried cutting out different foods to no no evail. Pasta always used to seem to bloat me and never had it all that much. A few years agoI had spaghetti Bolognese and I ended up in hospital. I thought it may have been good poisoning and the hospital said gastritis and gave me lansoprazole . Ive not had the meal since. 2 weeks ago I had spaghetti carbonara and I felt the pain in my stomach all the way to my bowel as it passed through my gut. I've been ill since with a pain in left hand lower side.. I can also eat bread with no symptoms at all so can't be gluten. Has anybody else had any problems with pasta? Or any suggestions?

    My heart truly goes out to you as I have had similar issues.  I was tested for gluten allergies and tests were negative yet when I avoid gluten I seem to feel a little better.  What kills me is that there is no rhyme or reason as to what makes us sick.

      Was wondering what kind of symptoms do you get and has pasta made you sick.? I've been to doctors so many times. I don't even tell people I'm going most times because I don't want people to think I'm a hypochondriac.

      It's funny how similar our situations are, I also keep this to myself because many people just don't get it and judge and or criticize.

      I get pains in my lower abdomen usually the right side but sometimes the pain is on the right.  Mixed in with this is constipation severe gas and bloating.  The gas is so bad I can not leave my house.
