Am getting severe bloating around stomach/waist i went to my doctors because i could not live with this feeling any longer and he diagnosed IBS, i don't believe this, i think its got something to do with PMT as i have always suffered from bloating around that time of the month, but over the last year i seem to be bloated constantly, i think it is something to do with hormones and my age 47. Is there anybody out there that suffers bloating as a manopausal sympton that can give me some advice as to how to deal with it, am fed up with being a size 10 one day then size 14 the next!
