Stomach Bloating!

[2009Zipperhead2009]

Another ?

N e time I eat lots bread, especially pizza n diff thgs can't thk of rt at the moment, my stomach looks like I am nine mo pregnant. I kid u not. Plus very hard to breathe.

Please tell me Celiac Disease doesn't go along with Chiari.

Help Selma!  Anybody???

  What meds do u currently take...many meds can cause GERD< and many with Chiari have GERD...so ne pizza will cause an issue no matter how much u eat....plus, if u r stressed that will add to it,.


Try chewing some gum (sugar free) it helps u produce more saliva and the saliva helps break down the acids ....Avoid foods like pizza, spaghetti, ne thing spicy....soda's...alcohol....

And do talk to a GI dr.

  Many with chiari also have GERD...and that could be a problem for u....how long since ur last surgery...and what meds r u on?

Pizza is acidic and will bloat u up if u have GERD.....

U should check ur meds to see if they may cause GERD or these side effects, and talk to ur Dr about a GI study......

Is this new for you?  Some people are just like this, it's just what their body does (specifically with fattening stuff & carbs!).  The breathing part isn't good, ask your dr.

Do you have celiacs?  Even if you don't, wheat free diets do good things for a lot of people.  I don't know why.  I was on a very restricted allergy diet for a while, including no wheat, and while I didn't get to eat anything good, I felt amazing.  Now I eat just about everything again, but I limit breads & pastas.

I didn't see the 9 mo part at first...measure yourself before & after!  I hope you are exaggerating a lot, but if not...def call your dr!  And stop eating so much bread :)
