What Causes Persistent Gas, Bloating And Abdominal Pain?
I have been experiencing gas, bloating, and abdominal pain for about two weeks, regardless of what I eat. My bowel movements have been very small and ribbon like after several days of constipation. I have IBS, diverticulosis, and sensitivity to wheat gluten and dairy products. My last colonoscopy was about a year ago and showed no signs of anything worsening. I am wondering what sort of questions I should ask my gastroenterologist or what tests I should consider. Thank you.

Hello,
It could be a bout of gastritis. As first-line management, you can take drugs like pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
