I have had bad digestive problems for 6+
months now. The symptoms worsened and I
went to many doctors. I eventually lost
close to 30 pounds. I had diareha with
infrequent bms and really pain dull
stomach pain. I would get the pain
mostly after I ate. I was tested for
autoimmune diseases, got the normal blood
work, and for hormone problems. I had x
rays and ultrasounds. Everything came
back normal. One doctor have me a proton
pump inhibitor and put me on ensure. This
seemed to stop the pain and the weight
lost. I have gained weight now and the
symptoms seemed ot have disappeared
mostly. However, recently I have been
getting terrible bloating again, worse
than b4. I cant explain how painful and
bothersome it is. It hurts because its
gas and it hurts because my stomach cannot
strech that far. I look like im pregnat.
This happens after I eat. I just had an
upper gi done and it was normal. I
starting taking hte proton pump inhibitors
again but the gas is just getting worse.
I cannot take this gas. I am sixteen and
I no this is not normal. Please help!

Bloating Posted: 07-20-04 23:53pm
I noticed your topic on bloating, because
I had sergury last week and am
experiencing problems with gas and
bloating. In your case I would begin by
examining your diet. We all have
different nutritional needs and not all
good foods are good for all of us.
Something with the ensure helps with some
of your allergies, but not all. So keep
in mind that the ensure was your first
step of discovery. You need to find out
what else specifically is good or bad for
you. Ideally to do this I would suggest
clinical support, perhaps a naturalist.
He can also usually determine what is
causing the symptoms, if not food. I
would also reccomend that you take
supplements to try to control yeast, and
also avoid sugar,breads,yeast,pastas.
You could have a strong candida yeast
problem, which can be treated. For
reference look up some of the symptoms
associated with candida.
