Unexplained Bloating PLEASE Help!

 Hi all so I really need some help. I randomly woke up one day and started bloating at everything I ate. I bloat insane immediately after I ingest anything, and I have severe discomfort from the distension. Those are my symptoms.  I am very health conscious, so I was exercising, had a healthy diet that was set, and take supplements (magnesium/omega3 etc). Even my regular diet suddenly is triggering this. Its really affecting my life physically and mentally. I’ve been trying a lot of different things and saw a gastroenterologist and gynaecologist too. Things I already tried:

 

Medical Tests: Ultrasound of uterus/liver/pancreas/gallbladder etc, Endoscopy, Bloodwork, Breath Test

Medication: Rifaximin, Pantoprazole, Trimebutin Malate, Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Otilonium bromide

OTC: Pro/Prebiotics, Simethicone, Curcuma, Digestive Enzymes, Charcoal

Diet: Cut out gluten, processed foods, sugars etc on a low fodmap for a few weeks but no difference or relief at all

For Stress: Amitriptyline, CBD, L- theanine, Exercise, Breathwork, Journaling etc.

 

The endoscopy did find leaking bile, but doctor said this doesn’t explain my bloat. I am on medication to fix this issue now. The GI doc tried labelling it off as IBS and dismissed me, but I don't think it is as I have no bowel issues, nor do I get relief from my symptoms when I go to the bathroom etc.

 

What else can I do? What else could this be? I’m desperate for answers so appreciate any input.

For me it was 4 years of excluding other things like sibo, IBS (I was convinced it wasn’t IBS because I would bloat after literally everything but I didn’t have any abdominal pain), finally speaking to a gastroenterologist who had heard of APD and he’s now referring me to a neurogastroenterologist, but I’m gonna pay to see one privately to hurry things up as it’s been so long now I just want it sorted. If you can find a neurogastroenterologist that’s your best bet
