ive had bloating for like 2 weeks straight.
Ive gone to the dr and er and ive had another blood test stool sample x ray and ct scan and everything came back normal. I was told to take gas x and fiber but none of it is working.
Is this normal for ibs? Any suggestions to help reduce bloating or should i just realize its apart of my life now?
It's only IBS if you have changes in bowel habit too.
Have you changed your diet recently? Started new meds?
Are you male or female?

If you have had a tranche of tests and everything is ok you need to look again at your diet and see if something you are eating is causing your discomfort. Some people suffer from some form of food intolerance, say some vegetables. Have a look on the web NHS CHOICES and read the sections on IBS diet that may help you work out if it is something that causes you this problem.
Are you a heavy drinker etc

Hi, check out online, abdominal massage for bloating, sites showing techniques for massage, it may help.
Im a male and i dont drink anymore. Its been 2 years.
I feel like woth all those tests i shouldnt worry but uts hard not too
What are you worried about? Bloating often feels worse than it is. Have you tried peppermint?
I just worry it could be something worse causing it like cancer
Highly unlikely. And something would have shown up on all the tests you had.
