Do I have a digestive disorder?!
Question:
Do I have a digestive disorder?
Since I was around 16, I have had intermittent stomach aches and constant gas. I'm 21 now and I probably should of done something about it sooner, but I've gotten so used to dealing with it. It got noticeably worse about 3 yrs ago. I have not noticed my symptoms get any worse after eating a lot of any specific kind of food (such as dairy), but I don't think I should rule out some sort of food sensitivity as a cause. I tried gasx and beano, but they didn't work at all. I'm thinking about trying a probiotic supplement. So what do you think might be wrong with me? Anyone have the same problem? Should I see a doctor?

I feel like I need to clarify, dairy definitely does not give me stomache aches.
Answers:
Keep a food diary, write down EVERYTHING you eat for about a week. Cross reference it with your symptoms and see if something pops out at you. You might try cutting down on carbs especially things like cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and eating more protein.
