have you had SIBO tests? You say eating doesn't change it but it can take a week for your intestine to settle down. I take Xifaxin periodically for the SIBO it really helps. I went on the FODMAP and it works beautifully. Had to make some adjustments with no onion/garlic/non-soluble fibers, lactose and gluten)
Did you check your medications????????? People forget about those! Mine had lactose, and either I have to take a Lactaid or get a change on the meds.
Sounds like small meals are in order until you figure it out. Maybe surgery?
you said: You aren't sensitive to foods, yet you contradicted, saying you have to eat a low fiber diet. So I don't understand. It sounds like you might be getting trapped gas pains which cause constant pain. (I went to the hospital twice for this!) of course, they found nothing because it was only trapped gas. Took 15 years for the true problem to be resolved. My anti gas, anti spasmatic contained lactose and so it CAUSED the pain, too!

Foods don't change how I feel. What I eat doesn't make my symptoms worse or better. I am on a low fiber diet because of my Short Bowel Syndrome. Doctors have said that I don't have SIBO.
I don't have bloating, gas,indigestion, acid reflux or heartburn. I was on a clear liquid diet for 3 weeks and still had constant abdominal pain. Was eating small easy digestible foods and I still have constant abdominal pain. I don't eat much when I eat and I still have constant abdominal pain. Only medication I am on is my seizure medicine and that isn't the problem.
