Oh dear my IBS seems to be getting worse- I feel like I am taking Meberverine everyday- especially at night time. More than anything its the trapped wind and bloating. I have stayed away from fizzy drinks. But now it just feels liek evrything is upsetting my tummy..But when I get tehse pains I can hardly move- last night it felt like I was having a heart attack.. I am now too scared to eat..
I was wondering if I had a stomach ulcer.. How do I know or find out..I may have been eating teh wrong foods on ocasion which might be why its causing these problems. This is so annoying...
The only thing I can put it down to is I am under unbelievable stress at the moment- could this be a cause??
Just need some advice...

Ten Commandments for eating for IBS
You need to check out the above link to strictly follow the guidelines for a few days to start to stabilise...i.e. eat only soluble fibre..... white rice, oatmeal, potatoes, pasta, etc. (without dairy). Try reading or rereading Heather's advice on the diet, and what foods to avoid.

Hi Sophia - Stress can be a trigger. For the trapped wind, you may want to try The Wind Relieving Posture. See an illustration here.
I'm not sure about stomach ulcer. You may want to discuss it with your doctor. Also, keeping a food journal can help you track what foods are causing you problems.
Fennel tea is great for gas & bloating also.
Hope you feel better soon.

I agree with Mags and Kim! Also, mebeverine isn't for everyone - it certainly didn't help me, and might have been making me worse!
Have you had a gastroscopy? That's the stomach endoscopy to check for GERDs, ulcers, etc.
