Hi Doctor,
I pray you to help me here-:
I am on antidepressants from 1999 till today- They are ---- Fluoxetine Hydrochloride - 60 mg, Lithium - 900 mg, Carbamazepine - 400mg and Amtriptilene Hydrochloride - 12.5 mg... I always had constipation (passing stool in 3-4 days) from 1999 to 2009 but I never had bloating or distension.
SUDDENLY In the month of Feb, 2010 my stomach started bloating and distension. I think it was due to lack of water, lots of tea and doing exercise. I went to MAX hospital, the doctor performed Endoscopy and colonscopy and detected Helicobector pyroli infection and a small Hietal Hernia (Doctor said it is common to have small hernia and will not cause any problem). Doctor cured H.Pyroli and my bloating got reduced by 25% only. Formed stool was also found in my instestine. Finally the Doctor said the cause of bloating is constipation nothing else.
I went to another hospital (Artimis) where doctor gave me Rifaximin and lubriprostone but it didn't get cured. He also said that the cause of bloating is constipation. But i always have persistent bloating even if i pass adequate stool daily.
Can you PLEASE help me. My current symptoms are-:
1) Persistent Bloating and stomach distention for last 2 years
2) Bloating reduces a bit after passing stool or Urine
3) Fullness/Heaviness after Eating or Drinking water even
4) Farting whole day
5) Very bad smell in Stool/farts.
Bloating and distension gives me a lot of discomfort. Can you pleaseeeeeeeeee help me. God bless you.
Note -: It is not IBS as i never had and have stomach or any pain.
