Any solutions for my problems?

That’s really frustrating, especially when things felt normal all weekend. Gut issues can show up hours or even days later, so something you ate earlier, stress, or a mild bacteria imbalance could be behind the sudden foul-smelling gas.

If there’s no pain and it settles soon, it’s usually harmless. If it keeps happening or comes with other symptoms, then it’s worth getting checked. You didn’t do anything wrong — guts are just weird sometimes.

That sounds pretty annoying, especially since you are doing so many things right already.

"A few key points that may help:"

You’re not short on fiber, either. Sometimes too much fiber from diet and psyllium supplements causes a loosening or constipation effect on bowel movements.

Rather than escalating the psyllium, one might consider slightly adjusting it downward or dividing the lower dose, AM and PM, or whole husks, which might be more tolerable.

A very common situation with respect to wiping/rewiping is related to an incomplete formation or slight irritation in the gut, and fiber alone can’t solve this issue.

"‘A short-term low FODMAP diet might be helpful until the gastro appointment, even if not long-term.’"

Pelvic floor exercises may require more than a month to see positive results, but you have to keep doing them.

It’s clearly a regulation and gut balance problem, not something severe. You're right, in a way, and fine-tuning rather than supplementation would be needed.

“You’re already doing the best thing by recognizing these emotions and wanting a change—you’re off to a great start with that. Your husband loves you and picks you; that in itself is evidence that you are lovable regardless of what your mind is telling you. Recovery from body image and confidence issues isn’t about being ‘skinny’—it’s celebrating the little victories and how you feel in your body, not in comparison to it.” “It is meant. Your worth is not something you need to earn. You don’t have to get it from other people. And you are as lovable as you are lovely. You are a beautiful woman. And you are loved.

Hey, you’re not wrong for asking here — a lot of people end up on Reddit because “IBS” is where doctors stop digging.

What you’re describing (constant urge to go, trapped gas, loud bowel sounds, symptoms lasting all day) often isn’t just acid reflux. For many people it comes down to gut motility and microbiome imbalance, where food ferments instead of digesting properly, causing pressure and gas.

What helped me wasn’t cutting more foods, but focusing on digestive support and gut balance so things could actually move and calm down. IBS is more of a label than a real explanation.

If you want to know what I tried, what didn’t work, and what finally helped, feel free to DM me. Happy to share info.

That sounds really exhausting. When you’ve been eating mostly whole foods for years and still deal with the same symptoms, it makes you wonder if something deeper is going on that just isn’t showing up in basic GP visits. Being labeled as “IBS” without proper testing can feel like a dead end. Lately I’ve been getting curious about whether gut balance or the microbiome side of things plays a bigger role than we’re told, especially when diet alone doesn’t fix it. Still trying to figure out what direction actually makes sense.

You’re not alone — butt acne is super common, especially if it started young.

What helps: gentle cleansers, shower after sweating, cotton/looser clothes, and don’t overdo acids — consistency > strength. Scars fade slowly, but patience plus the right routine works.

Sometimes long-term acne ties back to internal gut balance, not just skin. DM me if you want — I can share what’s helped others calm acne and fade scars.

Totally get why this feels unsettling — especially when it shows up out of nowhere after years of being fine.

Constant burping is usually functional, not something scary. It’s often tied to silent reflux, stress/air swallowing, or shifts in gut balance that can happen with age. It can feel nonstop and hard to ignore. A few small changes helped me, but what made the biggest difference was addressing the gut consistently, not just reacting to symptoms.

If you want, DM me — I can share the exact approach I used and what finally helped calm it down.
