Stomach Pains

Yes.  I’ve cut out a lot, just to be safe & just eat certain things once in awhile.  The symptoms can come out of the blue no matter what I eat or drink.  If things get severe, I let my GI know; if on & off, I update him at regular appts.  A med has helped me with diarrhea but sometimes even that kicks up, even on the med.

You may have other unidentified food triggers that are causing the problem or stress could also be the trigger.   I have no IBS food problems; stress is the only culprit for me.  Have you tried Low Fodmap?

I get a rumbling tummy caused I suppose by Diet and medications. Generally I can be a bad boy and not follow the diet pathway in its entirety  then I suffer. When I get the associated wind I look at the dog and blame him.

One of the worse things you can do is Google illness, keep away from those pages. If you have questions call your Doctor, make a list of your worry and fears and gain encouragement  from the professional instead of Google, Google will make you unhappy.

Everyone makes a mess of their diet every now and then, we are human, you have problems see the man in the white coat

Have you tried an antispasmodic like Buscopan? You can also ask your doctor for one if Buscopan doesn’t work. Sometimes, dietary change alone is not enough to manage IBS; medication is often helpful for random flare ups.  Don’t google your symptoms because you will get bad health anxiety from this.

I had a similar challege two years ago. I found out certain environmental allergies affect me

Exactly same things happen, stress takes a toll on my IBS, cutting food has helped but not so much
