Hello. I'm a 23 y/o female, slim build and relatively healthy. I eat well, plenty fruit and veg and drink enough water (1-2 litres a day).
For about the past 7/8 weeks I've been bloated everyday. It gets better and worse but it is CONSTANT, even a bit when I wake up. It is very uncomfortable at times, and I'm so self conscious.
I have no abdominal pain but feel that I may be slightly more gassy too. I went to the docs and had blood tests that ruled out coeliac disease and she said IBS is unlikely as I have no pain. Also was worried about ovarian cancer but she said she isn't concerned because there of my age.
what could this be ?? And are there any tablets or probiotics that can help me? I've tried a 7 day flat stomach sachets which made no difference at all.

Maybe the next step is to keep a diary of what you eat and see if symptoms persist or improve as you take steps to change your diet somewhat. It could be lactose, gluten, or even the fruits/veggies you're eating. Since you've ruled out CD, you're free to experiment and see how you feel. Cutting out carbonation and gum may be a good place to start, too.
I'm glad you're not in pain! Keep your regular OB/GYN visits and seek help if you find anything changes there like irregular periods, pain, etc. It probably is your digestive system, from what you describe, though.
GL!
