I can identify what you are saying about your belly being stretched. Mine too! And I too, often wonder if it will be able to be flat again!!
Let's hope we can be!!

Yep, I agree! Washboard abs are a thing of the past for me.

Ok, so maybe the pills for the intestinal gas are actually called CHARCOCAPS. I got some more from Wal-mart yesterday and realized that I had put the wrong name in my post. Just wanted to clarify so noone got the wrong info!  HTH

Have you tried any sort of elimination diet to rule out food intolerances? I used to have the same problem until I did an elimination diet recommended by my dietician. It turned out my body doesn't like dairy or wheat. Since I've cut those two things out I've had very little gas and feel much better. Throw in probiotics and lots of SF, and I'm almost as good as new! Except when I'm under a lot of stress, of course.
I'm not saying this will be true of all IBS sufferers, but it's worth a shot to try to rule things out.
