I've tried eating bland foods and still get the problem. The only time it's okay is when I wake up and before I eat. By time it's evening, my stomach feels like it's going to explode there's that much pressure in it. It gurgles, pops inside, and I have gas that's very hot and smells like rotten eggs. This is extremely embarrassing and I've cancelled social meet ups with people because of it. It's been this way every day for almost a month now. I've seen a nurse that told me to keep a food diary and I have been, but it seems it doesn't matter what I eat, it triggers it. I used to have this problem every once and a while but would disappear within a week, but this is persistent now and I'm worried it's something serious like ovarian cancer or colon cancer. I take peppermint capsules and other medicine for an upset stomach and no relief. What should I do?
I have IBS, ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis. I had very similar symptoms and a few weeks ago I started taking Phillips Colon Health probiotics. I got relief almost immediately! Yes, I still have some symptoms but it has helped get my IBS under control big time! You should read the reviews and give it a try! It has been a life changer for me! Good luck!
Try avoiding gassy drinks and vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts. For bloating, try cutting out gluten. Bicarbonate of soda helps with gas. It might be food related. However, if you haven’t seen a doctor, I would book an appointment with one. Only tests will be able to rule out causes.
Do you also take a PPI?
Rach,
its same here.
take this below stated that'll help you trust me.
you'll get in local indian spice shops. google about it and read, take it once a day i wrote earlier, keep time if forgotten take it anytime but take it, if just in case forgotten don't miss on the 2nd day,
Try Isabgol is an excellent natural product of India. Isabgol (Psyllium husk ) has several health benefits that you don’t know. helps stomach and bowl, people like us!
1/4 cup water with 1tsp of Sat-Isabgol, leave till it turns into jelly, you can add roza syrup to taste nicer or take it as it's flavourless, add cranberry juice if you want.
don't miss 1-2 banana's before lunch. banana's are bad to take at night.
try please! all you said will go. i say enjoy life just check for bathrooms nearby before going out just incase but this Sat-Isabgol helps you go once a day max twice if you have had heavy meal.
also stop having full cream milk, have lacto free milk, i like skimmed
