Can IBS cause severe stomach bloating
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi there.I can't handle the worry anymore.I was doagnosed with IBS 8 years ago and it started out minor,but lately it almost happens every month.My concern is when you google the symtoms (I'm crazy like that)there are so many things that come up that are more serious...ovarian cancer,appendacitis,bowel obstruction,colon cancer etc. I always worry the Dr is missing something.My main symptom is stomach distention.Along with that I get cramps in my lower abdomen that feel like period cramps or abdominal pain that makes me feel like I have to go to the bathroom all the time.I am usually not constipated,it is the complete opposite.Sometimes I go 5-6 times a day.I have a terrible taste in my mouth,Gerd and lots of gas.Sometimes I always feel like I have to burp but can't.The nausea is the pits.Everything combined can last a week or more at a time.I have it going on now and have second guessed going to the hospital,but then tell myself...it's just your IBS.I mean it can really make me feel sick with the pains and distention,Sometimes I wonder if anxiety worrying that it's more serious gets the best of me.Does anyone feel this sick with IBS and is there anything to do for it?I can go all day without eating and still feel it...HELP!😡

I suffer with this but have it more or less under control and I have Diverticulitus too.
A friend of mine sees a hpnotherapist for her IBS as it was so bad. I have never resorted to it, but she swears by it.
Good luck and I hope you get some relief very soon.

Often the Doctors go down the 'illimination' process.
Although not against Doctors at all sometimes, just sometimes they miss the basics . . and usually this is specific food intolernaces.
If you type in Nature's Physician Global Health Mission then go to the Food/Health Page, I think you will be able to connect with some of hte links there.
Happy to expand . .

There is nothing worse than suffering in the way you have been suffering Kelly and with no results to settle your mind it can be even more frustrating.
But don't despair, there is always an answer to most health issues.
