I had stomach cramping/bloating for 2 years and a little still persists, try and investigate, the celiac test is very rudimentary and only tells you whether you have celiac disease or not but you might still be gluten intolerant. If you fix your gut you have a good chance of feeling better overall, test your B-12 levels as well as they impact the gut. Hope it will get better. Look into shakes that reduce inflammatory cytokines in the gut such ass inflammacore or gut feeling max. hope you feel better soon - cheers.

Hi Hurtingallthetimet,

One of the things we have been finding out over on the methylation menu is the Metafolin can relieve IBS. This is espcially when IBS is present along with angular cheilitis, peeling fingettips, skin problems, burning baldder, mood changes,burning muscles. Some people are just plain folate deficient for any of many reasons. Folic acid, folinic acid and vegetable food source folate can actually cause folate deficiency in some people.
