Hi, been a little quiet while I try to sort myself out a bit, also been quite busy at work...

So I've cut out the wheat - now my lower abdomen feels significantly more comfortable which is tremendous relief...

BUT the discomfort seems to have moved up to my stomach and higher. Past couple of weeks I feel almost constantly gassy around my ribcage/chest/back and having mild stomach ache/indigestion type feeling. Accompanied with a very dry mouth and bad taste in the mouth. Until a few weeks ago I never had these other symptoms. It started with my uptake of soluble fibre - including wheat and acacia, but now I've cut them out totally, it's still there.

Although my lower abdomen feels better, I'm still not pooping adequately - feeling sort of full and C. Although the BMs are too small they are soft and not difficult to pass.

Help - is this IBS? Is it a symptom of C or what? Any advice now would be very much appreciated.

Thanks y'all.
