My diet doesnt seem to effect when the pain occursworsens.the pain fluctuates but it is always there. It is sharp constant painsbloating feeling beneath the stomach and around the sides which feels worse when bent over.I can only liken it to massive trapped wind but treatment for this such as windeze makes no difference or even increases the pain.The current specialist has said I had a viral infection which has affected my insides and they have not recovered and so are still cramping causing pain.
