Hello, So I've Noticed Each Time I Have An Artificial
Hello,
So I've noticed each time I have an artificial sweetener in my coffee I get stomach and abdominal pain, gas, bloating and clear , sometimes yellow mucus on deification.
This reaction only happens when I have the sweetener in the coffee , with out I just feel bloated.
Sometimes I get the same reaction to some pastas and chocolates .
The pain usually last 1-3 hours , even after deification. Bloating will last all day.
And pain gets worse around 8pm at night .
I am also anaemic , family history of bowl cancer not IBS or IBD .
My question is , what do you think I have ? as I've asked my GP and he's only told me to book for an colonoscopy , which I think is unesseary when these reactions only happen with certain foods/sweeteners.
TIA
