  I suggest you see your doctor and ask to be referred for breath tests. These non invasive tests will determine what your body may be responding to which may cause the symptoms you describe. Lactose intolerance (ie milk) and frusctose malabsorption (including wheat) are the main culprits. These tests will then determine what the ‘treatment’ would be - mainly managing what you eat, and avoiding, at least initially the particular foods that adversely affect you.

    Thanks for your response A couple of years ago I had those breath tests done and the doctor lost the tubes in transit and pretty much blammed the transport company so I got no results which was extreamly frustrating and he charged me for the appointment about $250 which was equally as frustraing because he lost the tests which took hours to complete (and I had to fast!). That aside, I should go and see another stomach doctor and get the tests done again. Thanks for your advice. Reply to this post  |  Report
