I am completely fed up. The only things on this earth that do not give me gas are carrots and water. I joke about it with my friends, but it is embarrassing. It always smells horrible, and my gut is always distended and uncomfortable causing me to have to consistently wear things with elastic waistbands. Not only that, but I poop maybe once a week at most, which makes me nervous (because I am not going!) irritated, and when I finally release it's diarrhea. (not all the time, but often)

I'm not exaggerating: this is my life every day. I eat approximately 20-30g of fiber per day, I limit my dairy consumption, and avoid refined sugars and flour. I drink 6-8 full glasses of water a day, and drink maybe 6 cups of coffee a week. None of these things that I have read will help, have done anything.

Help! If I saw a doctor, what are they likely to do/say? Is there any end to this with drug therapy or some other feasible avenue? I just want to eat and live normally like everyone else.
