Hello and thanks for your post,

 I am sorry to hear about the pain and discomfort that you are feeling and can imagine that this is having a huge impact on your life.

Without being involved in your care it is difficult to say whether the cause could be related to all your different treatments that you have been having over the years or to something else such as a GERD which is what the GP thinks.

Unfortunately it is a case of working out what food triggers your different symptoms.

I am not sure whether  it would be possible to get a referral to a dietitian as it is helpful having someone assess your diet and help give you tips on different meal plans.

The NHS have written some information on bloating and general discomfort which you can read about here

Penny Brohn who is a nutritionist runs a series of talks about diet and nutrition which you may find helpful to join. Have a look at the information here

This does not work for everyone. I am also not sure where you are living in the country but you may want to tap in to the support on health and nutrition which are sometimes run at Maggie Centres up and down the country. Have a look at their details here

I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. We also have some information on problems with diet and there are various resources which you  may find helpful to look at here

You have posted in ask the nurses but you may find that if you post in a different section you may have more responses from other members on the forum.

I do hope that your symptoms settle down soon or that you find a diet that works better for you.

If you would like to chat to one of the nurses on the helpline then you are more then welcome to give us a ring.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the Best,

Catherine
