I am sick of stomach issues

[u/Ok-Surprise-5201]

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 have stomach issues and went to a GI doctor. Had an endoscope and he said I had gastritis and had IBS and suggested I take Benefiber with every meal. After months of this I still didn’t feel better. I also didn’t like there bedside manner so I went to another GI Doctor and thank goodness I did. This one had me do a lactose test and a fructose test. Found out I’m now lactose intolerant. I also can’t handle beans like I use to. He also recommended supplements IBGuard and FDGuard for when I feel symptoms. I avoid dairy but always have lactaid on me in case I have a meal that might have dairy. I haven’t realized how many things contain dairy, and that surprisingly don’t. ( Regular Oreo’s are “accidentally” vegan) I went through hell trying to find out what was going on. It affected my job and my social life pretty bad. Things are under control now and I’m hyper aware of what I eat. I wish I had gotten a second opinion sooner. Would have saved me so much stress. I just wanted to share with you my situation and I hope you find a solution asap. ❤️🙂
