Severe Bloating and Distention: How did you find relief?

Hello. I’ve been following to see if there has been any updates to your condition or anyone else’s?
I finally got done with my month of tests and looking at the X-rays, pretty sure I failed. Which is confirmation of things I already deal with, just hope nothing new showed up. Because my bloating, distention and pain are still very present I’m trying herbal and alternative things. Not sure how it will go but nothing else seems to be working.
Things I’ve been reading about and going to gone a try: Oregano pills, magnesium (but think you need to be careful not to have to much), acupuncture , bone broth and last bentonite clay! Yep, I’m pretty much ready to eat dirt if it gives me some relief. I have not yet tried these but waiting to get them and see what happens. Anything but surgery! I’ve tried everything the doctors have given me and I’m sure they will be scratching their heads when I go back for my results. Maybe this will help, maybe not. I just know I have to try something because I’ve been miserable for way to long with this “episode”
These are all just suggestions I’ve been checking out. If anyone has tried any of these, your feedback would be great! They are something to research and I’ll let you know how it goes 🤞🤞 trial and error with your body is scary and not fun, but neither is being in this much pain with a shoulder shrug from a doctor saying, anything I put you on will counteract with your other issues so....🤷♀️. That’s when it’s time to try something else. I’m so glad I’m here and not alone. Support and ideas are so helpful. Good luck to everyone 😊

I tried everything including the acupuncture and bentonite clay. Acupuncture only made me tired the day I had done. The bentonite clay did nothing except taste disgusting. Everything I had going on, the acid reflux with acid reflux, delayed gastric emptying, gas, bloating, I also had Chilaiditi Syndrome which is a long story. I didn't have the gas and bloating until I had the Nissen fundoplication surgery 2 years ago. I tried every medication, prescription and supplements and nothing helped much. With the gas and bloating the best that helped me was Pepto but it was minimal help but it will constipate you. I had to have surgery for any quality of life. I researched a ton of surgeons, narrowed it down to 3 and went and saw them. I ended up going with the surgeon with 30 years experience and communicated well with what should be done and why. I'm 6 weeks out and everyday I'm feeling better. I already feel better than I did before the surgery. I hope it continues. I hope you start feeling better. I wish you the best.
