any gastro mom? Other MD who might know? I have often had minor stomach issues (some cramping, gas, etc) have done multiple tests (last colonoscopy was in Nov) all is good, my doc believes it is bouts of IBS, primarily because I am extremely sensitive and I realize stress could be a factor at times. I am 50, eat well, exercise, no junk and started to avoid certain healthy foods that trigger some issues (ice cream/milk/cabbage/beans etc) after doing great even during quarantine, almost 2 weeks ago I started dealing w a lot of gas. Upon waking up, and in the evening mostly. But also at other times throughout the day. I eat and then almost immediately have an urge to go to the bathroom (in the morning) have had complete bm, but sometimes twice in a few hrs and then again once after dinner... I know it is not terrible, but it does bother me and I don't understand what I need to change... Do not want to go see a doctor right now. I just hope this too will pass on its own. Yes, I have been dealing with stress lately on top of general pandemic. Maybe this is one of the causes. Thanks for any advice. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I'd recommend an elimintation diet (one thing at a time). It's annoying but as someone who did that and figured it out after years of sporadic gastro misery, feeling better all the time now is worth it! Hope you feel better. [ Reply | More

op- thank you. It is really bothersome... had a very simple breakfast and then a slice of toast w some almond butter and now have mild cramps again. Will try the elimination diet - had done a similar thing a few years ago but did not help. I need to be patient... thanks again [ Reply | More

Wow, this is me exactly except I am 41. I too eat very healthy and exercise, mostly follow a whole foods diet a la Nutrition Facts. But since last year I have had gastro issues including uncomfortable flatulence, frequent BM. I started to keep a food diary and have found certain things cause gastro issues for me: most dairy, beans, cauliflower, broccoli,cabbage. It is unfortunate because like you say, these things are quite healthy foods, but I don't like the discomfort they cause. My solution has been to eat these things earlier in the day as our digestive tract really slows down at the end of the day. I am also eating smaller amounts of these, and trying to get my gut bacteria used to digesting these things, and hopefully in the future I can eat more. [ Reply | More
