Gas/Bloat/Stomach Distended was started.
I only had time to read the first few comments (I am a single mother of a very active 4 yr. old girl), but I have had bloating problems, as well; I protrude at least 6-7 inches; much further out than my breasts . . . I look almost alien-like. This happens every time I eat anything. Anyway, I was just wondering if any of you have been checked for Celiac Disease. It normally goes 7-9 years undiagnosed and is a very common illness, even though doctors normally overlook it. Hopefully this will help some one. It's NOT FUN to be sick!
This is amazing, I have been 9 months pregnant in appearance for almost 3 weeks solid. In the hospital emergency room 3x in the past year, Tests have so far not found any physical reason for this. The first time for fear that I might literally explode. Yesterday I woke up with severe diarreah and then my stomache was flat and normal, at diner I ate a cheese and tomatoe sandwich and within 5 minutes I blew up to gross size again. I am still huge doctors are stumped after reading all this I feel relieved to know I am not alone but discouraged to see all the dead ends of others I have just booked an appointment with a naturopath I go in an hour. It appears that traditional medicine is not working for most of you, the bread and dairy connection is interesting and might be worth a try. I will start eliminating and keep everyone posted about what the alternative dr. has to say. Has anyone here tried alternative drs. or food elimination? If so any positive results?
Thank you Cindy
Have anybody received any help for this gas bloat syndrome. I take 17 ml. of miralax every night and milk of magnesia. I am also always swollen. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and my back hurts. I try not to eat a lot because it gets worse. I am hungry all the time. I am getting very depressed. I have had a hysterectomy and ever since then I have had trouble with constipation. I have been diagnosed with colonic inertia and acid reflux. I have tried everything. The only thing that helps to unswell me is if I take magnesium citrate and really get cleaned out. If anybody can read this, please offer suggestions.
