ive been bloated for a week now and have felt tired and also get constipated sometimes, i feel like ive ate a huge meal all the time i stay bloated
Hey,
Sounds like you need to see a gastroenterologist, Bro…
I had a sudden onset of belly distension, not really “bloating”, because it stayed that way for weeks… some pretty good discomfort, especially at night… I had an abdominal ultrasound… normal… abdominal and pelvic CT scans… normal… did a Cologuard poop test, came back positive (bad)… BUT… I now think Cologuard is a scam and is worthless… my GastroDoc looked over the CT scans and now thinks I developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)… I will do a FIT test (blood in feces) since I couldn’t get specifics from the bums at Cologuard… IF it is positive/bad… I’ll schedule a colonoscopy.
I think I got the IBS from my heavy chewing gum habit (Trident) which gave me a LOT of Sorbitol… I did not know that Sorbitol and other artificial sugars could really mess your belly up. I stopped and am getting better… I did some fasting… it really helped…
You might follow a very strict FODMAP diet for a few weeks, see if it helps… mybe skip a few dinners completely, go to bed on an empty stomach…
Hope this helps… and that you feel better soon!
