Dear Sir,

My symtoms include a tight, sore tummy where I cannot bear the pressure of trousers that fit properly. Also feel bloated and have several bowel movements before any relief is noticed.The stool apears normal and not lose. I sip hot boiled water that does seem to help a little. I have had a scan on my tummy and all is well. This has persisted for 3 weeks upto now. I an living in Qatar where medical diagnosis can be off the mark ...! would appreciate you advice.Thank you PETER EDMUNDS
