Bloating

by wickerbill, Apr 01, 2008 07:10PM
My husband's stomach gets bloated and very hard after eating.  When he lies down, gerd starts and needs to sleep in our reclining chair.  He has had colonoscopy and endoscopy and found nothing.  What could be causing this.  He is taking protonix and has taken prevacid previously.  He also gets a sharp pain under his left rib cage.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I have severe bloating after eating too (as well as many other symptoms) and was just diagnosed with gastroparesis. Has he had a gastric emptying study done? Or gallbladder HIDA scan to check for GB disease?

Just within the last week ago, I began to realize that my stomach is so bloated that I looklike I'm pregnant.  I am a small woman I weigh 121.6,  I've never happen, except when I was carrying my son.  Do you think its a gall bladder problem?  Or maybe it's the meds I'm taking.  But man oh man it is painful
