I eat reasonably healthily and not really overweight but my stomach feels so bloated and hard and looks really swollen. I was given Mebeverine for this years ago but it still persists. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    What have you been diagnosed with?   Since you have persistant bloating, I would see your doctor

      My doctor told me I had IBS but only after all my tests were negative.  Ask your doctor for tests to get a firm diagnosis.

      Hi thanks for your reply. Do you remember what tests you had done? Taking colon cleanse tablets and detox but not sure if they are doing much.

      I had a urine test, h pylori and fecal calprotectin stool test, an ultrasound and a celiac test.

    Dear Linda72257,

    You and me are same issues. I have been with this issue for 2 and half years now and no improvement. I have been done thoroughly check up with three times endoscopy, CT scan and many uncountable check up but still couldn't diagnosis the exact issues. one GI has proven me that I am suffering from unidentify chronic gastritis and other GI says just mailed gastritis. My tummy keeps bloated for whole day. But thank god for no pain may be due to dieting. I have been lost to 20 kgs and I am under weight. Now I gave up meeting GP/GI specialist. I am trying to do natural remedy. If there is any improvement I am happy to share you all. Please kindly share if anyone cured with same symptoms

    Thanks

    Ladies, add me to this group please. It's nice to know I'm not alone but terrible that we all go through this on a daily basis. At one point I lost 23 lbs that didn't need to be lost but my belly bloat made me look like I was due to deliver asap. I have no solutions. I've been taking cider vinegar every day for digestion but it doesn't help the bloat or all that comes with it.

    I've recently started a ketosis diet and have found that as long as I don't eat allot all at one time I don't bloat anymore. It's also improved my IBS big time. Ketosis removes a lot of inflammation from the body. Learn about before you start and it can change your life. I'm on Dr. Don Colbert's Keto Zone Diet.
