I need some help! I have been experiencing gut/digestive problems for a year and my doctor isn’t helping!
Started Nov-Dec last year. I started experiencing pain and cramping after I ate but only in the afternoon.
May - I developed loud stomach gurgling and burning. Diarrhea after eating. Only after eating. Then bad acid reflux and burping.
Probiotics have not helped! I’ve tried peppermint capsules, they did nothing. Eating a BRAT diet for a month, this kind of helped but not significantly. Imodium helps take all symptoms away but they come back.
The only other thing I can think of is I was on an antibiotic for a while and a topical for months! Could it have damaged by gut this bad and caused this?
I would suggest trying a different probiotic to that you have tried. I have managed to stop acid reflux just by taking digestive enzymes that also contain probiotics.
I am amazed at how well they work, compared to another type I had tried. Check them out, Amazon.co.uk
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve tried digestive enzymes for a few days and they definitely helped with bloating/gas and heartburn. So far nothing is helping with diarrhea after eating.
Gurgeling, bubbling and uncomfortable sensations in the belly after eating, especially a heavy meal are quite common. Often can happen the dygestive system is moving food ,liquid and gas through the intestines. But if the gurgling comes with pain and diarrhea, constipation or nausea there can be other reasons. such as Food intolerance, especially lactose. Your body has difficulty in digestine certain foods, such as the lactose in milk. As a sollution, try lactose free alternatives and see if your condition disapear.
Or else, foods that produce more gas can also be a reason for this situation. so, prevent taking such foods often. For example, beans, lentils, chickpeas, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts etc. Reduce the consumption of these types of food and check if you find changes
