Bloated distended stomach

***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed

I have read all of the posts and I have most of the same symptoms. I have a website that covers all these symptoms and then some including the bloating, bleeding gums, feeling full, fatigue.... they're all there. Do youself a favor and really explore this website especially on the topic of leaky gut. There are some really inciteful solutions to these issues and I happen to know that they work! I had heard a long time ago about yeast in the body causing a myriad of undiagnosable issues and the cleanses suggested perminately curing these issues.

When my daughter Abby was born she developed a really bad yeast problem on her butt area and all over her face. It was coming out of her saliva and eating at the skin on her face. The doctor kept saying it was just a rash from teething but keeping it dry didnt make it go away. My babysitter suggested yeast. I presented this to the doctor who took pictures to document the severity and confirmed it being a yeast problem. He didnt have a solution other then Lotramin for the symptoms but nothing for the root cause. He did however tell me that if the mother has yeast problems in her system the baby can also develope yeast in the womb, while passing through the birth canal and through breast feeding. The proof of it being yeast came when the baby powders and creams weren't working but the antifungal Lotramin did. I found a nutritionalist who gave me pills to disolve the yeast followed by a powder to introduce good bacteria into the system. Not only did her yeast symptoms subside but her hyperactivity subsided as well. I also gave her a low sugar diet durring this time to help the products do their job. I limited milk especially because you wouldnt believe how much sugar is in milk! The only time the yeast as well as would reoccur is when she would eat a higher sugar diet (for instance durrring Halloween). If I keep her on a realtively low sugar diet she stays without symptoms because the sugar is not feeding the bad yeast in the system. One day I will have to do a full cleans with her and Im dreading it because Ive seen it done on adults and it looks like they here taken out by a semi. However, Ive seen it cure many of their problems even bad adult acne.

When I read this website it all came together and made so much sense. Im frustrated too and quite frankly very worried about my insides. I actually became excited when I found this though and can't wait to try it and cIm rossing my fingers that I start feeling better quickly. There are some graphic pictures and xrays of yeast in various areas of the body... for this alone it is worth a look it's very interesting. There are detailed solutions to each symptom as well as tests some of which can be done easily at home to find out if this is your problem. All the solutions are natural as well.

Anyways Ill stop babbling. It can happen when you find something that excites you. Hope this helps. Really look and read the different topics like I said especially the leaky gut. That's very inciteful!

I am so amazed by how many women my age have this problem! Although most of you already know how this goes, I am also 23, active, 5ft. tall, and 100lbs. Well, I used to be. I have always had very bad pains in my stomach that I associated to gas pains but they were short and infrequent. One month, however, they started getting bad and then within a week my stomach was so bloated I look like I am 7 months pregnant. I am getting asked all of the time when my due date is and it is very embarrasing. I have gained about 35lbs and have gone from a size 3 to a size 9! NONE of my cloths fit me anymore and my friend and family are commenting on how "fat" I am getting and they do not understand or care that I am really going through an abnormal medical condition. They think that I am just gaining weight. I have had blood work done, a Colonoscopy, an Abdominal CAT scan, and everything is normal. The 2 things that did look a little bit off was that my X-ray showed that I had a lot of stool in my colon (but I am not constipated) and when I had a vaginal ultrasound done my colon was so enlarged that they couldn't find my right ovary. My colonoscopy was normal though!? My gastro Dr. seems to think that I am just stressed out and have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but I have been taking medication for it and it's not working. Every time I see him he just gives me another script even though he doesn't know what he is treating. He thinks that I am exaggerating my symptoms because he hasn't found anything physically wrong with me yet. I think that I have a food allergy. I wake up in the morning feeling fine with no bloating at all and as I eat and drink my stomach grows within 30 min and doesn't go away until the next morning.

One solution that I have found is tracking what I eat. I write down everytime my stomach decends, what I ate, the date and time, how I feel, and how long it lasts. I sometimes regurgitate my food and more often than not I have an abnormal amount of gas. I have noticed that when I eat dairy my pain and bloating get worse and come on much quicker. I used to eat cereal every morning and yogurt for lunch every day and I have cut those out. I don't drink milk anymore (just soy) and this all seems to help, but some days my bloating is just as bad as it always is and I haven't eaten dairy. This last Friday my stomach bloated and it didn't go away at all until Sunday. I am so discouraged and can't figure out what the hell this is. I am going to try a gluten free diet next.

Thank you everyone for sharing. It makes me feel a lot better knowing that I am not the only one frustrated with this problem. If I could sit down and talk with you all in person I would. Please, if ANYONE finds out what is wrong with them, please share it with us and I promise to do the same. This situation is making me very depressed. I can't look at myself in the mirror anymore and everytime I put on my size 9 pants I cry. It doesn't matter what or how much I eat or how much I work out i am still gaining weight like crazy.


Good luck everyone...

Hi Everyone,

i'm telling you all, GO GLUTEN FREE! I cant stress it to you enough! Study it first, know what gluten is and what its in and THEN give it up.... for life! I know it seems hard, but to have your stomach be normal from the inside out is worth it! A ton of stoers have gluten free items like stracks, target, whole foods, cost co., mejer.... I had been told i have IBS, or i'm just gaining waight, or i dont drink enough water, or i'm stressed.... it wasnt any of those, i know what your going through and it is the worst. i'm 23 and same story as most of you. i'm telling you, make it a life style and feel wonderful, have better energy, and look great =) i also struggle with ADD and it was a huge help for me to get off of gluten as well, much better focus and less foggy with my thinking.

Hi, just found your entry about having a bloated, distended stomach. My hubby has had the same problem for quite a while now - again without resolve. As you put this message on the web over a year ago - I was wondering about your current situation. Was the issue resolved or do you still have it ? What did they do to resolve it. Many thanks. Sue

i had the same problem. i decided to try homeopathy and it worked. the problem i had was life-style. i suggest you try homeopathy and yoga/Pilates.

I have had the exact symptoms for the past 18 months. Have you or your Doctor considered Dysautonomia? This can cause fatigue, rapid heart rate upon standing and leads to abdominal bloating and pain.

Any update? I have almost all the exact same symptoms

Hi, I have this problem, but unlike in the past it's gotten hard and stayed big. I cannot figure it out and lost my doctor due to knuckle-head insurance companies that don't cover my doc. I'm trying to find someon, but my stomach has taken me up two dress/pants sizes in less than a month. Yes I'm married, two kids, but my husband has had a vasectomy because of complications with my pregnancies. He volunteered cause I refused tying my tubes. Now that this information is out, maybe you all can help with what this could be. Thank you.

Oh to add to this, I have been gluten free for 7 years. It's not gluten or dairy.

I want all of you to google SIBO. I have it and this may very well be what you have. Also google FODMAPS.

I'm diagnosed with mild GERD, lost 30 pounds in 5 months (6', 199, age 73), stomach remains bloated despite otherwise trim, dizziness. Could hypertension medicines be culprits?

I'm having bloated stomach! Why do you eat and after that you look like you're about to give birth?

I've had a very hard bloated stomach for about 5 days now, and it's not constipation. I've been to the doctor and had blood and urine tests, X-ray, Ct scan, I need help!
