What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Food Intolerance?

My fiance has periodic onsets of a bad stomach ache. He gets bloated, has pains on his right side, just below his ribs and in the center just below his rib cage. he gets nuasiated, and almost always throws up when this happens. it has lasted as short as one day, up to a week one time. I know that when he stresses about things, I do believe it brings it on. But i m beginning to wonder if it isn t possibly a food intolerance he s suffering from. I heard about many people having a problem with gluten, so i wondered if you could tell me what foods have gluten in them, so i can construct a diet for him to try. Thank-you for your time.

Hi.
Thanks for your query for your fiance.
Bad stomach aches, bloating, pain on right side nausea, vomiting off and on, particularly on stressed out day is more of an indication of IBS, the irritable bowel syndrome.
This is not food intolerance, but a part of the syndrome he is suffering from.

I would suggest that get all the blood, urine, stool , CT scan of the abdomen and if all are negative it is IBS.

Gluten free diet is worth a try, but I hope it is not only gluten but he has to stop all the foods and beverages which instigate or enhance his problems.
He has to control his stress and anxiety and will help him the best.
I find this answer helpful
