Brief Answer:
This is probably irritable bowel syndrome!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your client is experiencing. All the information makes the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome very likely. Treatment is mainly trying to understand what food types and life changes make things better. I will suggest that you keep a food diary and try to match her symptoms with different food types so as to identify which provide much relief and which make the symptoms worse. On these bases, you would be able to make changes that would greatly improve her quality of life.

I hope this helps. This would need time to understand the problem before noticing reasonable changes in her symptoms. Please, be patient and stay positive. Feel free for more exchanges if need be.
