Question:
I am having servere bloating

Not sure what is wrong, my middle is getting bigger, it is all bloated, no matter what i eat makes me feel bad, it is like nothing is empting from my stomach into the intenstines, but yet the stomach isn't bloated, it is in the intenstines, i have a lot of gas, but that don't give me much relieve . I have also gained several lbs, and i am really getting worried , any suggestions on what is wrong... I think it is more thant just gas ..:( sometimes the gas causes me very bad cramping. It has been 2 years since my surgery... what could go wrong now?    — Reelbaby (posted on November 13, 2007)

Take Gas X with Malox for your gas pains and stay away from milk products. You are probably lactose intolerant and that is causing the cramps. Happens to me sometimes. You aren't pregnant are you? I would call your Dr. ASAP!!!

I'm not a Doctor, but I would say, it sounds like you have a possible blockage, or stricture. I would get to the docto, ASAPr. They can run a scope down and open it up pretty easy. Don't wait...Get it checked out. Good luck and feel better!

are you having bowel movements? i am a nurse and since you are so far out from surgery it sounds to me like you may have some type of blockage or obstruction. get to the doctor or emergency room ASAP, because it could be very serious and it's always better to be safe than sorry! Good luck i wish you the best..Holly

Hi NR. I hope that you called your doctor before you wrote this. Please don't wait to contact them. I don't know how far out you are, but you sound like you need to see your surgeon asap. Thanks. Patricia P.

Hi, It could be stomach ulcers. Have it checked out. I let mine go for years. The middle of my stomach was getting bigger. I had some pain, it didn't feel like heart burn, and when I would say something to my DR. he just put it off. Finally I got an appointment with a gastroenterologist, and after testing, I found out I had ulcers. Hope this helps. Pam
