Hi Sara,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes, I have been to Gastroenterologist around in month of Jan 2020, At that time I had problem of Gas , Bloating and Discomfort in Stomach. He recommended me "Align" Probiotic and Low FODMAP diet. And after that till three months I was fine but now since May 2020 , I am facing issue of cramps , bloating , gas , sometimes (upper abdominal minor pain or discomfort).
Raffinose is a sugar found in mushrooms, beans and in smaller amounts in some vegetables and grains. The human body lacks the enzyme called alpha-galactosidase to digest this sugar, so it ends up in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur.
Fructose is naturally present in onions (very gassy), artichokes, pears, and wheat. It is also used as a sweetener in some soft drinks and fruit drinks.
Did you get bloated in early early pregnancy (like a month or so) IF so where did you experience this bloating? In your upper stomach like right below your breasts OR down below your belly button. I am currently experiencing bloating/pressure in both area and was wondering if this was normal? Oh and another thing My dad is painting the house so how harmful is it for me to be around the paint vapors?
Hi All,
About two months ago I started getting some burning/pain in my upper middle stomach. Over the next week it turned into adding bloating and pretty bad gas pains, constant belching, and slight pains in the ribs. The pain isn’t excruciating but it’s just there enough to be all I think about. The gas and bloating is infuriating. I went to my doc and she started me on Pepcid ac. It seemed to help for about a week then stopped helping.
Type your anPeople who complain about flabby middles may have stomach bloating problems without even realizing it.
Stomach exercises won't do a thing for your bloating, so it's important to determine how much of your problem stems from this common occurrence.
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if the bulge in your stomach is caused more by fat, bloating or both.
And now I am sure taking an Original Alka Seltzer, perhaps near bedtime, will help keep that acid down and also release gas, which generally causes bloating. The SOURCE of all this is the problem, and what a doc really should stay on top of until something makes it stop. If perchance you eat a lot of take-out and drink a lot of sodas, those things can make a person gassy.
I just happened to have gas-x in my bathroom and immediately took 2. Within one hour the gas and bloating were gone and so was the afib. I literally got on my knees and prayed that I was on the right path to health. I stopped the Metformin for a few days to give my stomach a rest and took zantac 300 twice a day. No palpitations or afib. I was amazed. I am now on Metformin ER (which has less side affects) and with it I take a zantac. I have had no afib.
The problems cured for some time but then several problems like Gastric, Acidity, and most irritating one, nausea and fullness and bloating in stomach and chest.
So during the last 5-6 years. I have undergone many treatments and a lot of medications and medical tests. Many of the tests like ultrasound showed no problems in abdomen but a bood test called widal test resulted postive and doctor told that I have Typhoid/Enteritis infection in stomach and intestines.
Does anyone suffer from bloating and a gassy stomach everyday that it's uncomfortable?
and whenever I try to not make the gas out or should I say I try not to let my fart out. My stomach will begin to ache. The pain is uncomfortable that I really need to let go of the gas so I can feel at ease. Third, most of the time I have shortness of breath so I inhale deep through mouth. Please help. I don't know what medicine I should take. My bowel movement also changed..sometimes I feel like I have diarrhea.. but sometimes even if I want to poop. Its not coming out.
Blood in stool (happened 2 days ago & only happened once so far)
Constant gas that literally smells like rotten eggs (THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ME)
I did start my period today and I know that stomach problems usually occur during that time of the month (bloating, diarrhea, cramps, etc.) but this isn't normal for me. I freaked out especially when I say the blood in my stool. What can this be? Should I be concerned about this?
Hi,
I'm a 21 year old male who is healthy and can handle stress relatively well. I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with ulcers in February 2013 by a Gastroenterologist. My Gastroenterologist said I have multiple ulcers along my stomach lining and a lot of inflammation. I started taking Protonix daily and watched what I ate. I have a lot of bloating and gas and a little bit of pain.
The past few months I've had more and more lower stomach cramps\pains. Its right at the belt line, sensitive to touch also. I've noticed if I go without eating I don't have any stomach issues or pains, I was recently on omeprezole for supposed stomach acid, which did nothing. I continue to have pain and have now stopped taking it.
My stool has gone from regular solid to now waking up in the morning and 45 minutes in running to the bathroom hoping I don't miss the toilet.
I am desperate.
About the time I came home from college for summer vacation, I began noticing drastic changes in my GI system. Though I had absolutely NO stress upon coming home, after finals, things got really bad. Everytime I eat I am bloated, and was in terrible pain. I began putting on weight despite eating only about 1000 calories a day, due to such bad pain from eating. I excercise very hard most days of the week but began to get weak and tired from being in pain and not eating enough.
I sleep good, then as soon as sit up, its like someone switched on an air compressor in my stomach. Well, now the gas pains have gone however I now have a soreness feeling in my upper stomach area along with my lower back. Like I worked out my "truck area" or something. Ive been to Dr, who did an xray and told me to eat 5 prunes aday. Im a 30yr old male, alittle over weight, but not extreme. Im also sorta a hypocondriac so this stuff sorta scares me.
Ascites can be one of the causes, but not the only cause. The indigestion could be caused by the cyst. I was stage 1A, and had all of the symptoms...I also had very large masses. There are also women that have cysts that experience indigestion that do not have OvCa.
I think that if they really knew the cause, they would know alot more about this disease.
Thank you very much.

You note upper GI discomfort (burning in the chest area) radiating to the back, bloating, gas, as well as hyperthyroidism. The pain is brought on by eating.
The GI symptoms are known as dyspepsia - simply defined as upper GI discomfort. Causes can include an ulcer, inflammation of the stomach and esophagus, GERD, or cancer. Other potential causes include gall bladder diseases or pancreatitis.
You stated you are interested in non-invasive tests.
