This is my first post to this group and I can't believe how many people are experiencing the same symptoms as me. I felt alone until tonight. I am sick of the bloating, embarrassing gas and the abdominal pain. I feel like everything I eat causes me pain and gives me lot of gas (which doesn't go anywhere!). I have terrible C and bloating all the time. I was really laughing when I read the "I miss pooping" threads... I'm not alone!!!
Jules, I get that 'moveable' gas that you describe. Have you found anything that works? I have tried heating pads, yoga and gas-x... nothing seems to consistently work. Yoga seems to be the best but only if its a long session.
To help increase regularity, I've tried Metamucil and drank heaps of water but that doesn''t work either. Just more gas and still no BM. I exercise regularly... at least 45 mins a day of biking, I eat healthy and I just can't shake this. I've seen doctors and they tell me I have IBS-C... and lactose intolerant. I read ingredients of everything and somehow I still end up with a bad tummy.
Anyhow, enough of my complaining... its nice to hear other people are feeling the same as me. I think I'll try Milk of Magnesium next... seems as though I've tried everything else. Good luck everyone. Namaste.
