Dear DAVIS,Much sympathy to you.My advice is first of all to look back through the old threads on this board -you'll find lots of tips and maybe something that helps.Personally,I'm about to try something that another sufferer told me about which is cutting out carbohydrates for a while .Apparently in some people these can be a cause of bloating(there are many possible causes)By eliminating carbos. for a while and seeing if it makes a difference you can then reintroduce them gradually to try and identify which ones might be causing problems.It's just an idea - like you I'm desperate and will try anything that doesn't involve wasting more money than I already have.Good luck
