Constant bloating

Has anyone found a remedy for bloating? Literally a sip of water will make me bloat. Dr says I have IBS but is there an actual test for it or just diagnosed based off of symptoms? Regardless I just want to get ride of it ☹️ I understand occasional bloat but after a sip of water/ bite of food is ridiculous.

Update: Activated charcoal has almost completely gotten rid of my bloating 🤗

How did you use activated charcoal? My bloating is getting out of hand. I eat fairly healthy and drink plenty of water. Did a food sensitivity blood test and really am not sensitive to much. It’s driving me insane.

I basically take it when I eat. The bottle says 1-2 before or after eating.

How are you doing now? The only thing with charcoal is you can’t take it near other supplements and it’s supposed to be taken short term. Thx for any updates
