remedies for abdominal bloating?

Hi guys,
Although my noninvasive implants were burnt off in Jan 08 i am still experiencing severe bloating which is outright uncomfortable and painful as it pushes on my 15cm scar tissue. In fact my stomach has never looked the same since first being diagnosed 2 years ago. I am still quite active and go to the gym 5 days a week.
Does anyone know anything that might help with severe bloating? i look 9 months pregnant by the afternnon!

When I had lots of gas/bloating, I went to see an accupuncturist to deflate me...Maybe that will help a little

Find an acupuncturist and ask if it may releve bloating. I'm not a doctor and this is something to ask your gyn-oncologist about. If it's asites fluid build-up and not residual "gas" from surgery, I don't believe any amount of antacids/anti-gas otc  are going to help. You might want to post your question to the cancer export forum for a medical opinion. A slightly invasive drain-off may be in store. Ask a medical professional in the know about such things. Good luck. My gyn-oncologist removed 6 liters from my abnominal cavity when he did my debulking surgery. Now that I am relapsing, I can feel the asites building up again, so I know how you feel.
