What Is The Treatment For Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
So after I drink soda I feel really bloated after about 10 minutes or so. Now the gastro diagnosed me with IBS and has done a endoscopy.Endoscopy was normal so what can be causing this extreme bloating? The bloating is so bad that I can't lay down or anything and it feels like I can't breathe. That is how bloated my stomach gets.

Hello,my name is Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Some advice that I can give to you are:

-Limit your intake of carbonated drinks.
-Avoid foods that cause gas, such vegetables in the cabbage family, dried beans, and lentils.
-Eat slowly and avoid drinking through a straw.
-Use lactose-free dairy products
-Medications such as dicyclomine (Bentyl) can help relieve painful bowel spasms.
Hope it helps,
