Hey there Jimbo and welcome to the community!
While 23 years is a LONG time, we do indeed have some members here who have been diagnosed longer. Regarding the bloating:
1. Does it occur no matter what you eat?
2. How long after you eat does the bloating occur?
3. Any other symptoms?
4. Have you been evaluated for small intestine bacterial overgrowth?
5. What medications are you on?
All my best to you.
