Stomach bloating/ digestive issues

@lizwhite80 , Hi there. Did your Dr say anthing to you about IBS? I was diagnosed at age 21. Iam 65 now. And it has been an uphill battle practically the whole time. I also have GERD and gastroparesis, Diabetes 2, hypothyroidism and a couple other things. I am negative for Sjogrens thank God. I suffered with my stomach until i was prescribed Tagamet and Bentyl in the early 80's. I would have the bloating and pain and Bentyl took care of it. Do your bowels ever work at odds? Like constipation one day and diarrhea the next? Or, it doesn't have to work that way for you to be diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You can have chronic constipation or chronic diarrhea with IBS. it can play havoc with your life. I cannot do without my PPI or my Bentyl. Or have you been to see your gynecologist? I have heard that bloating is a classic symptom of ovarian cancer. I am overdue for my gyno appt. Good luck Liz, keep looking. Btw, stress will make your stomach worse. So take care of yourself and let me know what the doctors are saying. Love, Judy

I have had bloating and stomach issues my whole life. I'm 67 now but they started as a teen. I now have an ulcer they took forever to finally find. Am taking protonix for it but still have symptoms. Hope you find an answer and feel better.
I had gall bladder surgery. Prior to surgery I was 128 lbs. I am now 160. Horrible. I keep thinking something is wrong. I keep my calories at no more than 1000 daily. I do have glass of wine now and then. It must be 100% sugar.
Hello! My doctor had me do an allergy test which said to cut out gluten, dairy and eggs. I have been feeling much better cutting out these. Still get pretty bloated and have issues, but I feel much better than before. I went to a different doctor who suggested a low food map diet for IBS. She said it manifests differently in people. Anyways, made me think of your comment. How are you doing?
Amazing what our diet can do. I rarely eat eggs. Maybe 2 a year. Unfortunately, I became a vegitarian. I miss meat. But if I eat it, I must be slow as my system has had "fake" food for so long. Today I am feeling so good, that I am lying around watching You tube and just enjoying a day with no pain. Not yet anyway.

Hi. Thank you for your response. My doctor had talked about IBS but then ruled it out. I dont always have problems using the restoom. The bloating and pain come on after just drinking water but they do not usually lead to restroom issues. I have not been to thhe gynecologist for these issues yet. Maybe i should give it a try. Thanks.
