Notes on Bloated

Hey,
Sounds like you need to see a gastroenterologist, Bro...
I had a sudden onset of belly distension, not really "bloating", because it stayed that way for weeks... some pretty good discomfort, especially at night... I had an abdominal ultrasound... normal... abdominal and pelvic CT scans... normal... did a Cologuard poop test, came back positive (bad)... BUT... I now think Cologuard is a scam and is worthless... my GastroDoc looked over the CT scans and now thinks I developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)... I will do a FIT test (blood in feces) since I couldn't get specifics from the bums at Cologuard... IF it is positive/bad... I'll schedule a colonoscopy.
I think I got the IBS from my heavy chewing gum habit (Trident) which gave me a LOT of Sorbitol... I did not know that Sorbitol and other artificial sugars could really mess your belly up. I stopped and am getting better... I did some fasting... it really helped...
You might follow a very strict FODMAP diet for a few weeks, see if it helps... mybe skip a few dinners completely, go to bed on an empty stomach...
Hope this helps... and that you feel better soon!
