It's probably got nothing to do with quitting smoking. It will be diet related. Cut wheat, dairy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, soda.Health Question & Answer
I'm only 21 but I have had a lot of the same symptoms. I went to the doctor and he told me I had IBS. I started taking Amitiza but the side effects were worse than the helping... so I stopped taking them. I went to GNC and bought Natures Cure Colon Cleanse, andI have been feeling much better since then. Not nearly as much nausea, no more bloating, and no more awful constipation. It will cause a little diarrea but I know it's really cleaning me out. After just quiting smoking it might be a good idea to try the full body cleanse that cleanses your liver, colon, etc. It only costs about 15 dollars.Health Question & Answer
5 pieces of fruit blended into a smoothie should do the trick and totally get them bowels working properly again,then your stomach pains will also go away, i chop 1 apple,1 pear,1 orange,1 banana and 1 kiwi up into pieces then throw it all into the smoothie maker with exactly 1 pint of water thrown in aswell,blend it all and you should get exactly 2 pint glasses full of fruit smoothie, you should notice the difference within 2-7days depending on your body but it does do the trick,oh one more thing is you must drink 1 pint first thing in the morning and the other pint around teatime.
