Tummy Aches And Pains Posted: 06-28-05 14:15pm
I've been to my doctor about some problems
with my tummy and she gave me a round of
pills to take for 2 weeks. At the end of
the pills nothing had changed so she got
me to try a different pill for 3 weeks and
again at the end of the pill nothing had
changed.
Basically I have a lot of air in my
stomach and it is a little tender at
times. I get heartburn often and it
doesn't matter what I eat/drink.
I have cut caffeine and all carbonated
drinks out of my diet. I have also cut
out anything deep fried.
My stomach looks and feels full all the
time and I constantly feel bloated. I
drink anywhere from 1-3 litres of water
every day and work out every day also.
I don't know what else to do to try and
make this feeling in my stomach go away.
If anybody else has (or has had) the same
symptons, i'd love to hear from you if
you've had any success or any advice you
can give. It's just getting more and
more frustrating as I keep working out and
eating healthy but I always look and feel
full......
Thanks :)

Bloating Posted: 06-28-05 16:52pm
Hi, I just came across your question and
want to say I have the very same problem,
except I don't drink as much water. I
went to a general doctor and she put me on
pills, but for acid reflix thinking that
contributes to it, my pills have worked
with acid reflex, however, I still have
bloating.
But once I went to a natural doctor that a
friend took me to, and believe it or not,
he gave me fiber to take everyday and told
me to stay away from cheese and bread and
actually that worked. My stomach was not
bloating anymore. I didn't think I
needed that fiber because I thought I was
fine in that area, but apparently that was
the problem. I haven't been back to him
to get some more, it's been about three
years and i'm bloated everday again. If
I just drink water or coke my stomach will
bloat. Oh, also one more thing. He
felt my stomach as I was lying down and
said my intestines didn't feel right. So
that could be my problem to, and maybe
yours. I think I should go to an
intestinal doc to get xrays but I still
haven't. Maybe you should to. Hope this
helps a bit.
