Hello All,
I have been suffering from severe bloating and constipation (uniterrupted) for over a month now. Been to the GP, who litterally laughed at the fact that I had to undo my trousers during the day at work and wear long jumpers so no one would notice it.
Wrt bloating, my belly is about fine in the morning (tho not totally how it used to be), but as soon as i stick anything into my mouth, being a nut or a sip of water, my belly starts expanding to the point I actually look pregnant.
Wrt to constipation, nothing comes out, I honestly do not know where it all goes. I used some over the counter laxatives, which made me go just a bit while I was on them, but it however never gave me the feeling of emptyness.
I stopped smoking a few months ago, I read on a very old blog here it can be a cause, but I stopped about 3 months ago and my condition only apeared 4/5 weeks ago.
I took smoking again for the past 2 days, I shall see if that gets rid of it, but even if it does, this is not the solution..worked hard enough to stay of the cigs to have to start again.
I read about gigestive pills, pro-biotics and ginger pills, anyone has any experience with this?
I woiuld appreaciate any help you may be able to provide, as I am not getting any from the medical profession and I am really starting to become hysterical about it.
Many thanks in advance.....

Hello,
Our diets in America are lacking in nutrition. I am a healthy eater and raised organically. I still have problems with bloating and eliminating. I though it was normal not to poop every day. I would go every three and when it got to 4 or 5 days I would feel sick! I tried pro-biotics but found much more relief in using enzymes. Enzymes are what break down food so our bodies can eliminate waste and utilize the nutrients. The Essential Enzymes 4 from Young Living are amazing. Also all my friends ask how I can eat so much and not gain a ton of weight. Secret is in the enzymes. Even me eating vegetables daily still has problems with pooping.
I hope things get better for you.
