Need a G.I. consultation: This is a problem that is best solved with a consultation with a gastroenterologist. If you have already seen a gastroenterologist and you're not getting any better than you need to see a new one.

Alter diet: Try a fiber supplement like metamucil on a daily basis. Also, dairy products may be a problem.
