Ibs With Major Bloating Issues Posted: 08-13-07 15:24pm
first off, i would like to thank everyone
involved in making/maintaining this forum,
ever since i found this site, i put at
least 3 hours/day of trying to educate
myself on so many subjects that involves
my health.
i'm 33 male, been having stomach pain
since i was 22, it started with ulcers, i
did lot of test, endoscopy, colonscopy,
breath test, and lately i did the celiac
disease test.
i was diagnosed with the h-pylori twice
already. the last time, it was about 7
months ago, and after taking the
medication, waited 2 months then did the
breath test again and i was tested
negative.
about 3 yrs ago, i was diagnosed with IBS,
had to give up so many food, but that is
ok, i gave up coffee, tea, and anything
that have caffeine, lately i even stopped
drinking milk since it is causing me lots
of gas/bloatiness. I even had to give up
my main weakness, which is sweet, i did
cut my sweet eating habit drastically.
another problem i had was my frequent
visit to the washroom, but after stopping
caffiene, that helped a lot.
i do work out at least 4 times/week, i'm
healthy, but i think many times before i
eat anything. for the past 9 months,
bloating is something that doesnt leave
me, i would say 90% of the times I'm
bloated, i'm will get blaoted to a point,
my pants won't buckle.
I went to see my doc, she mentioned this
is normal for IBS patients and i should
get used to it. she gave me dicetel but
never helped.
i went to a health store, i explained my
situation, i was planning on colon
cleansing, the lady i spoke with suggested
that since i dont have constipation, "i'm
more to the diheara" side, i start with
"probiotics" the good bacteria.
i dont know, i'm hesitant about this
subject, since a while back i tried
activia for 2 weeks and that gave me lots
of problems.
i wonder if anyone here tried this
probiotics and whether it helped or not.
i do my best to stay away from fat, wheat
and rice, even though i tested -ve for
celiac, eating those items makes me
bloated right away.
so here i'm posting my first post, hoping
that someone will be able to shed some
light on this topic.
thanks in advance.

Hi there.
I too take probiotics. I too have colon
problem ei..(colitis and two diverticuli)
and have problems to this day. You
probably already know that the "pylorus"
is the pathway of a very small piece of
intestine that goes from the estophgus to
the stomach. I am very aware and updated
on "Pyloric Stenosis" and the food not
being able to get to the stomach when you
even eat at a slow pace.
Personally (if you have'nt already) I
would take this up with your doctor and go
from there. Sounds like you are indeed
getting enough fiber.
