@zchristine72 I am sorry you’re experiencing these issues. I know what it’s like to have to have a plan before going out. I am finding that small intestinal bacteria Overgrowth SIBO causes a lot of of my symptoms. I take Oregano oil under the tongue or there is berberine and other natural supplements that you can take to help.

@annpeters Thanks for your remarks. My symptoms are not as severe as some stated in this thread but I am trying to stay ahead of things. There are so many variables on what is tried it is hard to know what is helping without a truly dramatic quick result. I have been on Berberine for about a year and the level of abdominal discomfort has decreased which perhaps reduces pressure.
I use Berberine HCL 450mg combined with Berberine Phytosome 550 mg. Twice a day with food. All supplements are not created equal.
Over the past two years I also significantly modified my diet to accommodate recommendations for those with GERD/Silent Reflux. This has helped also.
I also have IBS.
It is a challenge trying to balance the differing tolerations of these conditions which narrows down what I eat for sure. When possible I prepare pureed or soup/broth types of meals and small portions (a normal portion for sure is bad for me), and finish main eating by 2-3PM except when I go out to eat.
For me: no more beans, vegetables need to be cooked (not salads), no rich foods, etc.
