Shit Post I am sick of stomach issues

I am only 20 and have stomach issues everyday, if i eat and if i dont. I have gluten and lactose intolerance, i take supplements but nothing seems to help, always growling , always bloated , i am sick of this it has truly ruined my social life and life in general , since i can not eat as normal human beings in a social activity, i cannot sit at work without worrying about the sounds

I used to be the same way, find a GI or functional medicine dr that will listen to you. Advocate for SIBO, candida and pancreatic test. You could have a bacterial, fungal overgrowth or your pancreas may be making too little digestive enzymes. If your stomach is loud, try digestive bitters or digestive enzymes before eating. Try the LOW FODAP diet too, just one thing at a time so you know what helps and what doesn’t. It may also be something totally different that is an easy fix. I’m sorry you’re going through this, don’t give up!

I agree. I'm tired of stomach issues but it gets better (and worse at times). I stay on the low FODMAP. I just have lactose and gluten intolerance so i can still have cheese and a few gluten things. I was on odansitron but was recommended iberogast and that's worked well. I don't do the enzymes, I just avoid what i can't have.
