Abdominal pain, bloating, and rapid weight gain- NOT PMS!

hello marye I have the same issues. I was wondering if your bloating /weight gain has resolved after the antiibiotics? thanks so much, Jenn

I'm so happy that I found this site. I'm in so much pain it's ridiculous and not being able to do much but "wait and see" is driving me nuts! I'm 34 and have children already. I do not plan to have any more children. I'm tired and in pain so much that I can't focus on anything. This feels so helpless. 

Hello Im 19, and have had these symptoms for about a year and a half, at first they just passed it off as IBS and continued to do so for a while, i am really struggling now though, my stomach feels like it will explode, i have really bad pains in the lower part of my stomach below the belly button, and severe lower back pain, ive also gained weight, i have dizziness and nausea most of the time aswell, please can someone please tell me they got theirs resolved?

I also haf an ablation a couple years ago and I am now having ALOT of pain in stomach and groin area. I had two CT scans and found a ovary ruptured and the Dr said he thinks I have IBS.I am so bloated and stomach has so much pain in it I cry..I even have a brownish discharge now. .I don't know what's going on but I would love to get rid of the bloated stomach and tightness feeling.

I hope this reply is not too late. Have you undergone any surgery ? I have all the symptoms described in the posts and the doctors are sure it's because of an adhesion. after a surgery, your body can get what they call scar tissue and one organ can attach to another. In my case, the bowels attached to the uterus so whatever happened with one, would hurt the other…

I gained about 35+ pounds but I thought it was due to quitting smoking. Ok, its been almost 2 years since I quit, I've been exercising almost everyday, and I can not believe I've hardly lost any weight. I am getting a lot of gas pains, and gaining weight in my upper abdomen (above belly button). I have NEVER carried weight there. For the last 2 months I am really targeting my upper belly via exercises with NO RESUTLS!! What the heck is going on with all of us?

I am so happy to have found this forum on the second day of my symptoms and now that I took the Charco Caps, I feel that the bloating and abdominal pain, pressure has gone. Thanks to everyone who recommended it. Hope the pain/bloating doesn't come back!

I have had the same symptoms and the same exact concerns about what could be wrong with me. I'm also hungry all the time. It's just awful and frustrating. I used to be very even keel and could control my appetite without trying. But I have gained 15 pounds in about 2 years and can't get this under control. I will look into the charcoal pills

Im in the same boat. I have gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks and have done nothing different. My stomach is constantly bloated and sometimes the pain is so bad it feels like Im having a baby, I have tried everything including not eating past 6 pm. I had a blood work up done and that was normal so Im at a lose to what is causing this. I had to actually buy all new clothes as everything is so tight due to bloating I cant stand it anymore

I feel your pain. I just turned 35 and have been dealing with for the last couple years. I don't think it's a "middle age" thing, over-eating, or just in our heads. I have taken to wearing mummy tummy pants just to have pants that fit everywhere else. It's a bit strange as I've never been pregnant, but I'm willing to do it. Give it a try. No judgement here. :) Hope you feel better soon!

Im a single father of a 15 year old daughter. She went on the Depo shot and the first 3 months was fine. 2/3's way thru the second 3 month shot she went from 114 to 131 in under 30 days. Physically impossible to gain that much physical weight based off 3600 EXTRA calories per pound. She has all the same pains as mentioned in posts in her stomache. I got her switched to the patch on the advise of the Women's clinic instead of her Pediatric doctor. Now it is 5 weeks on the patch and she is 136. Please help me help her! Is it birth control or what else?

you need to take a medication named flagenase 400 mg and alevian duo

Thank you! I feel the same way! I've been through every test and had to have a partial hysterectomy in 2006 due to adenomyosis. It's so embarrassing, because people ask me when I'm due...etc. I'm going to try the charcoal pills, since I have spent so much money on co-pays and time off work. I gained 8 lbs in one days and 10 in 8 days last month. I eat very healthy and have always worked out until this. I am so uncomfortable and in so much pain! I hope we all get an answer soon!

YES! About to literally lose it. I have no idea what is going on.

..i have never been so unhappy in mylife. my husband isn't attracted to me anymore, he hasn't touched me in 5 months. I am desperate to get this weight off. I was never taught how to eat/cook healthy, my mother fried everything. exercise was another thing I was never taught, I don't know what to do, how to do it , what to eat, how to cook. what exersizes to do. I don't have any equipment as of yet, im trying to find a used or good priced treadmill. and hand weights. idk what else I need. another thing. i need help on what is a good colon cleansing product. for as long as i can recall i haven't went to the bathroom number 2) everyday like i should. now its like once a week. i have tried skinny magic, it made my belly hurt super bad. but still didn't cleanse me, only made me go atleast one time a day, i have drank soda for years. more soda than water...sometimes only soda all day long. now i know better and i only drink 1 a day. im trying to get to a point wher i don't drink any at all. i haven't slept well since the birth of my youngest daughter, she is 4 now. i wake all through the night only sleeping maybe one hr at a time, when waking i would have strong cravings for sweets. im trying not to do that anylonger either. also heard that drinking braggs apple cider vinager with honey 3 time a day helps, so i started that 3 days ago. im so desperate for help
