I'm a male 24 years of age. I go to a major university and have been haveing trouble with IBS for about 2 years now.I visited my doctor and he ruled out other possible problems.
My current probelm is this, When I'm in class I usually get gas and most of the time I can not let it out and it finally forces its way out in the gut of my stomach making very weird noises, that is extremely loud and embarassing.
I have been on the eating for IBS diet for over 2 months and follow it strictly, and it has not helped me very much. The only thing I might be doing wrong is I only drink between60-80oz. of water a day. If I drink too much water then my stomach growls in class, so I'm not sure if drinking the 120oz. of water a day that is recommended will really help me.
I have oatmeal for breakfast. Italian bread and or Tostitos for lunch. For dinner I have rice with stir-fry veggies, or boneless skinless chicken breast inside flour tortias.
I'm too the point where I hate going to class, and this probelm bothers me every day and is now controlling my life. I work out three times a week to reduce stress, and the only real stress I have is worrying about the noises my body will make when I go to class.
I'm looking for any suggestions on a way to maybe help reduce my symptoms or sugg estions on anything. Thank you
