Hi there It could be IBS or gastirtis but you need to get yourself tested for gluten and lactose, remove diary for the moment and try to get have gluten free products and see if it helps you have to see a physician, are you burping too, try taking gavascon and for cramping buscopan that was what my daughter had to take when she had the cramps and bloating, another doctor prescribed colofac I think but I did not get her into that, but I heard that it helps too, but as it is medicated I try to avod it as she sees a dietician too and it has helped a bit please read instructions check with doctor first though. is it middle upper stomach is the pain going onto your left or right, try to get a gastroscopy done, you need a full blood test done too including liver and if there are blood test for kidney too, also ask for ESR and CRP , B12 , Iron studies and maybe get a scan done to ensure your kidneys are ok is it microscopic blood or is it visible in your urine. If it is gastritis you will need to take something prescribed medication like nexium, peppermint tea assist with wind in stomach, My daughter was undergoing the same issue, we have done everything, she has to change her diet as she finds dairy makes it worse. If you are stressed IBS gets worse, she drinks cammomile tea as it helps with relaxation, avoid cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, beans, cauli, broccoli, have spinach, bok choy, carrots potatoe, swede, turnips, lettuce cucumber, rice , gluten free pasta, surdough spelt bread, she does not like that and has wholemeal spelt bread as she seems to be ok with with her wheat and not allergic to wheat products this was done through a gastroscopy, where they took biopsies for h pylori and also to check for gluten and they came back negative but she was diagnosed with mild gastritis, how long have you had this issue for. you can have manderine kiwi, banana, grapes, oranges, anyway she also see a dietician who has put her on a FOBMAP diet . I just hope you find some relief keep a food diary and see what trigers it, she is constipated so she takes metamucil when she starts to feel bloated, Get yourself to a doctor, and get the necessary test done please keep us informed and hope you find the answers you are looking for good luck. I know hwat it is like having to watch your child go through it and feel so lost . God Bless you heather
Hi there
I have heard that nexium and gaviscon assist with getting rid of ulcers, but you need a prescription and you need to discuss it with your dctor, have you been checked for the h pylori cos if this is the cause you need other mdicines to get rid of this parasite first. this can be done through a breath test. Good lck and god Bless

OMG..ME TOO...I GUESS I SHOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR
what type of doctor did you go to for the '"elimination diet"? I'm three months post double mastectomy and 4 months post chemo, exercising and eating SO Healthy and look 7 mos pregnant. I have to do something!!! Thanks.
Hi...I too have the same problem..was wondering if you have found anything that has helped and would like to share
This sounds like me. for about 4 months I've been very bloated, increased bowel movements, full bladder, weight gain. And when I eat a large meal, sometimes I have an urge to throw up, but I don't actually throw up. I too have the bile like reflux and sometimes nausea. My initial thoughts were IBS. I've saw a digestive specialist 2 days ago and will undergo an endoscopy on Monday. I'm hoping for a good outcome. did you ever have fibroids? do you mind telling me if you're between 48 and 54?

I have the same thin lately startin last year. At first it felt like a virus or bad food. But lately I still have it all the time whether or not, I eat it doesn't matter. Constant burping and faltulence under great pressure. I still think it is a disease I caught. But I just want to tell you that CHARCOAL PILLS from health food store really help it out alot. I don't think I'd even be her eif it weren't for them.
I, too, have the same bloating and burping with such force if I eat or don't eat. But I noticed that a low grade fever sometimes accompanies the symptoms and a sort of headache, dull ache. I think it is some kind of disease like a virus acquired by eating out at restaurants, or ice cream from machines that are not properly cleaned out. It gets a little better and then reverts back to the same old bloating, belching, constipation and green diarrhea. THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS AND I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IS CHARCOAL PILLS FROM THE HEALTH FOOD STORE. Those really cut down on the gas big time. No doctors can figure it out because it is something going around they don't know about, and virus cannot be diagnosed. I had Lyme for twenty years before they even discovered what it is.
I have Lyme disease since 1971 and it never caused stomach symptoms like this. This is a new, separate disease.
hi im 55 and had all these symptoms all my life but getting worse the last few years i was down to eating just dry crackers it was so uncomfortable just having a cup of tea coffee would blow me up so much all the docs kept say it was ibs. id been looking for ages on internet to find an ANSWER well blow me i did find the answer i had an allergy to the proteins in milk NOT THE SUGARS but ( CASEIN N WHEY) THIS IS IN A LOT OF FOODS so check it out I HAVE SOYA MILK NOW AND HAVE HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS STOMACHS STAYS FLAT WHY NO ONE COULD FIND It DONT KNOW IM ONLY A SLIM SIZE 8/10 BUT WOULD BLOW UP TO 38INCHES ITS SO ANNOYING STUFFING ALL THESE YEARS AN BEEN IN N OUT OF HOSPITAL DOCSMMMMMMMMMMM???????????/ HOPE THIS HELP YOU YOU TO. SORRY BOUT CAPS
my brother is a 67 year old, black belt in tai chi, masters in psych, personal trainer, non smoker. Hadn't seen him for about six months. Admitted Tues nite, per call from my 95 yr old blind mom; forbidding me to call or visit him I went to see him yesterday...NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THE MAN IN THE HOSPITAL BED. I can't stop crying. He is not the same man I knew as my brother! His face was thin; gaunt. (Believe this sidenote not relevant, but compelled to mention...always had low vision; glaucoma runs in family; which he now has.)
His stomach was ENORMOUS! My brother's stomach looked full-term pregnant with triplets. His thighs, knees, calves, ankles, feet swollen to that (I'd imagine) of a 500 - 550 lb man. (My brother is thin, wiry, muscular; albeit age apparent creeping in. Still handsome, virile)
He won't give me or my mom "security code" required for release of info and/or discuss him with nurses, doctors.
Last night he said they were going to try to remove some of the stomach fluid. I asked several times what CAUSED this...I never got an answer(the very size of him, the fear he must be coping with, the shock and lack of info for me; this has shaken me to my very soul; non-stop tears zapping my strength, nausea that won't dissipate, my fear...)
i called a few minutes ago. He answered, said he didn't feel good. I'm on my way, bro. "No, don't come!!!", he replied. I need to sleep.
My sister died at 35 years of age; the pig's valve used in her heart valve repl was wearing out. "they" were working on solution when we lost her. She enjoyed 2 years of being an incomparable Aunt to my son; I asked her if she has contacts "up there". (or where ever),please pull strings for our brother; it's not his time, and my mom can't lose another child.
Please, please help me understand this. I have to be there for my brother, whether he wants me there or not. I'm so very, very afraid of the serious, even critical, thing that's invaded my brother's body.
So did anyone reply to your question?
I am having the same problem right now and I have been to many different doctors. Nobody knows what is going on. If you had any info, please let me know. Thank you
My mom has been having the same issue for a long long time. She has had SO many test done. What test did they do to finally find it?
