Bloating causing hard time breathing

[Jackie321]

I have extreme bloating, which is causing me to have a hard time breathing, what can i do to get rid of this? all the Bloating medicines I've tried did not stop the bloating, could this be life threatening?

I've had this for 20 years or more.
I have been looked at by a Dietician and it seems to be linked to food intolerances. Seems a bit hippy type thing but I have been put under the "Addenbrook exclusion Diet" and there have been some good improvements.
It takes iron will and a huge amount of diet sheets which will make you want to pull your hair out but it is a part of the answer for sure. My bogey foods seem to be Wheat, Yogurt and Onions. I have had problems recently with my breathing and no amount of Inhalers seem to nail it.
When I doubt that it works, I try a bit of wheat or Yogurt and memories come flooding back.
Dr Addenbrook is part of the Cambridge University, uk I think but is known in Dietician Circles.
Hope that helps.

At first time ,I think you should take a general physical examination. The ascites will be exclude  If  negative shifting dullness is found.The etiologies of bloating  including bacterial overgrowth syndrome ,abnormal gastroenteral motility.For the former,you take some antibiotics such metronidazole,for the later,you can take some promotility drugs,such as cisapride.Of course ,it isn't be life threating
