Good man 
it’s extremely common . If you haven’t already maybe have a test to see it you’re coeliac. If not you can still be non coeliac gluten intolerant which Drs aren’t quite so genned up on. (Item 4)
Infact have you looked at the FODMAP diet? Even if you follow it for a few weeks it’s worth doing just to see. It’s not that restrictive or Nazi and quite flexible compared to other shitty diets which are usually overly restrictive. There’s some really good apps for it to guide you. Monash university’s own one is probably the best. That’s the gaff in Melbourne that pioneered it.
I’ve only recently learned that if you stay off gluten for long enough it gives your stomach lining time to recover and the inflammation time to subside. Also occasionally fasting allows your stomach to shed it’s lining and regenerate. This in turn allows me to have the odd bit of bread or whatever without consequence. Yesterday I had a baguette with no side effects whatsoever. Rock and fucking roll

Bread should obviously fuck you up, but see if it happens with oats which is an interesting one. Oats destroy me rain or shine. It’s just a massive avoid at all times.
Dubman Hope that sorts it for you. Those without stomach problems (or bowel) don’t realise how completely blessed they are.
I’m going to completely avoid any gluten for the next few weeks. Which know doubt will be a challenge. After that I’ll make an appointment to see my doctor just in there’s no underlying health issue.
Dubman Gluten free options for things like pasta have come on leaps and bounds in the past ten years. Early products were not very good, but some of the newer GF options are pretty good.
Haven’t tried GF bread recently. Was weirdly pasty and sweet the last time I did, and not particularly pleasant.
Dubman The FODMAP thing was a total game changer for my wife, really worth investigating. @Cankles-McJeggings is dead right, as long as she has Fresh baked bread and not the Warburtons type crap she can get away with a little every now and then without rolling round the floor like she’s been shot.
She also read this really good book which was an eye opener
“Gut: the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ” - Giulia Enders
Highly recommended
Should I continue to drink a daily Actimel?

Cheers , I’ll have to get on it
No. The most important thing you should be doing is carrying on drinking as much Coke zero as you possibly can. Treat yourself, maybe 4 or 5 cans a day. You really do deserve it
Actimel, Coke Zero and Nugenix.
Or winning as I like to call it.
I do like to make my own kimchi and sauerkraut, and knowing that does good things for my gut health is a bonus.
Old Speckled Hen and a ruby are my go to for a cleansing gut clear out.
Ironically Guiness is one of the few alcoholic drinks that doesnt fuck me over.
Lol - saw him the other day going into Wetherspoons on the High Street. Or winning as I like to call it.
I’ve only just realised who that is. If spitting image were making puppets that would be Smalls.It’s actually Wealdstone Raider, or my mate Gordon.
