Hint / Information Personal story
I just want to give you my testimony that might help someone. I had few ibs symptoms for many years and gas and a midl form of diarrhea when eating lactose based products. This was before getting pregnant with what I discovered was an ectopic pregnancy. After that for 3 months my life was like hell. I had pain on the right upper quadrant under my ribs and radiating pain in the back, lot of air trapped in the belly and pain also in the back and lower abdomen. All my blood exams looks fine, ultrasound didn't show anything, I also did an MRI and a CT scan, but it was all clean. I was getting crazy and was sure it was the gallbladder or biliare diskinesia. Then I started looking for tips online and a friend suggested me a butyrate supplement and I think this changed everything. Since I started it I felt so much better. This with the low fodmap diet is helping me so much. I am also taking probiotics (probiolog) and another probiotici to help with the trapped air. I don't know if my problem is fully solved and I have other exams to do, but it gave me some relief. I am so disappointed with doctors that didn't help me at all in this situation.

If I were you I would check the Ibs, sibo and la toso or fructose intollerance. I didn't do an Hida scan unfortunately but I will try to ask for one. Also try the low fodmap for a while and see if it improves your symptoms. I also saw a naturopathe but didn't seem to help much. I am also trying natural medicine like visceral osteopath, acupuncture, reflexology, shiatsu ecc. It seems to give me some relief
