Bloating and Gas - is it the same?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Sorry if this seems strange but I can't tell the difference between bloating, gas or just plain fat. I'm overweight and have quite a big stomach. When I'm sitting down I can grab my fat ie I can pinch more than an inch or two but when I stand up although I can't grab as much fat as when I'm sitting down, my stomach feels soft ish as opposed to rock hard which I assume is bloating. I had a scan and the radiologist said I had a lot of 'gas' is this not good?

Bloating is when you retain water so much so that you physically are heavier - feel heavier/look heavier. Gas is your bodies reactions to the foods you are eating.
I drink a lot of ginger root tea with camomile on it. Don't drink or eat anything hot or cold as your stomach will have to do a lot of work inside and this can cause gas
Try to eat small meals everyday and only drink liquid after eating. I'm not a doctor but these stuff helped me (everyone's different).

Nice to hear from you First of all, DONT BE SORRY. I am here to help and I believe you will get better soon
Do you feel pain in your stomach?
Do you like going for walk? I've been off work for a month now. I go for 10-20mins walk after meal and this has helped me a lot with my bloating and gassy stomach
How's your eating habits? Avoid spicy, anything fried, soda, caffeine etc for now till your stomach heals. Don't drink anything hot or cold.
I make cabbage, a lil carrots & Apple everyday - drink up before breakfast (cabbage heals your stomach lining)
Hope this helps, if you need someone to talk to u can email me at cb_279@h o t m a i l . c o m

Try by omitting milk and chilles from your diet,
taking small and frequent meals, and not lying down for atleat half an hour after meals, you may take curds and buttermilk if you like.
Hope you feel happy !!
