Bloating after meals + constipation
Posted: 05-18-07 09:34am

This is how my stomach 'inflates' after a meal and doesn't go away for hours or until i wake up in the AM...and then starts all over after 1st meal (small and healthy still flares up).

This isn't just fat...it's distension i guess?

Constipated often even while taking pyssilium husk powder drinks. Blood in stool ...bright read so either hemroids, anal fissure, or bloody lower tract? No energy. Very irratable as bloating is uncomfortable. No stomach pains.

Have appt with GI next month..what should I be looking for in getting a good workup?

Hi, welcome here.
As far as I could understand, you complain of bloated stomach and constipation, right?
Are you taking any kind of medication? If you are, it can be some kind of side effect. But it's more likely to have something to do with your eating.
You should not have drinks like coke or soda. First, because they have gas, and second because they cause constipation. Have fibers at breakfast and whole cereal things (pasta, rice, bread), fruit, drink a lot of water and natural juices. Avoid beans and such things, because they can cause bloated tummy.

Was this helpful? Let me know! Smile

thanks for reply. i don't drink much soda...and have gone long periods without drinking it with no success. i take a fiber shake 2x a day which is 20 grams alone..along with fruit that i eat.

beans are a great source of fiber though i don't eat them due to the gas they cause.

i think this goes beyond my diet as bloating occurs even on the smaller healthy meals.

thanks

Well, if there's any improvement, it's worth it Smile
I'll see if I remember anything else..
Oh! Have soy milk instead of animal milk. (:
