I desperately need it..

is there any good over-the-counter stuff anyone can recommend?

I have a fairly flat stomach, but every time after I eat, my stomach bloats up and gives me a small pot belly. Then it reduces again with time and when I’m hungry again my tummy is flat again. It doesn’t hurt or anything, it’s just bloody annoying.

[Background]
I have a spastic colon.
I’m not allergic to anything that I know of.
When I was younger I did a lot more exercise so I used to have a flat tight stomach. But these muscles aren’t tight anymore due to me being lazy.
This happens WHENEVER and WHATEVER I eat. Not just certain foods. Nor does it matter how much I eat, although the more I eat, the more bloated.

If someone could please explain the theory behind this, why does it happen. And then a possible solution?

Thanks

Very early Sunday morning (3:30am) I woke up with night sweats and abdominal pain around my belly button. Throughout the day I have been having a little bit of trouble breathing (not much) and the pain is getting worse. It seems to be around my belly button and also an inch or so below sternum, kinda towards the right/upper side. I did throw-up once a couple hours ago when I was hit with a severe pain in my stomach, but other than that I don’t feel sick, so I am ruling out the flu. It’s steadily getting worse (the pain and the sweats), but not ‘out of control’ yet. I am 27yrs old, male, in good health (besides this). I have noticed at nighttime (before this event) I started having some troubles breathing, but ONLY at night and it went away if I used an extra pillow to prop myself up. Any ideas?

p.s. i’m not huge i only weight 145 and i only have a lil tummy i’m not fat fat but i want to loose it!! plz help!

Yesterday, I had diarrhea. I normally give up dairy products, but then I drank 2 glasses of milk after that anyway. Then, this morning I had a glass of milk and a bowl of cereal milk drink. I had diarrhea again. I took some medicine and it stopped. Well, aside, from a yogurt drink,I didn’t take dairy products after. When can I start drinking dairy products again?

Say you are on a diet and trying to lose weight, does IBS make you lose more or less, or is it irrelevant? Thanks!
