Hi Penny, First time on board.Like you I am at my wits end with night pain. Every afternoon it starts to build up and gets worse until I go to bed. It is affecting my sleep bigtime. Not sure about relation to food. Have tried acacia but that causes pain and bloating. Bowel symptoms as you. Only hope is to try various acacia doses. Have you found any cure for the pain and gas? All the best for your problems Avril
