Question : I am a 43 year old female for the past week or so I have suffered from loose stool bloating and lots of gas. There has been no vomiting or intense pain just a tigh bloated uncomfortable feeling. I was diagnosed a few years ago as having ibs but seemed to be much better until recently. Could this be a flare of the IBS and if so what can I do/eat to ease symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

More likely it can be a flare up of IBS that you were diagnosed years before.
I can advise you to take simethicone to help reduce the gas and bloating.
Don't eat much fruits and vegetables and especially limit fruit juices, orange juice and apple juice.
Use toasted bread, sticks and crackers.
Don't eat too much diary products and fats.
Taking enterogermina can help stabilise the intestinal flora so you can use it to ease symptoms.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
