Having constant gas buildup and feeling bloated with nausea

hi, did you go to your GP ? its best to get test first like stool and blood test , it sounds like you are suffering from Low stomach acid, but i would say go and get checked. other thing what you can do is buy hci with pepsin and before eating a chicken or steak or any meat take one tablet, after eating if you are still burping or burning in stomach you should see gp if you have no burping or any discomfort at all , you are definitly strugling with low stomach acid as you just taking stomach acid supplement

Hi robert31834

Keep a food diary to check if certain foods may be causing the gas build up, such as spicey or fried foods and veggies such as sprouts and broccoli. Also fizzy drinks and alcohol. Try the food diary and see if there is a correlation between the food you eat and your symptoms. You may need to change your diet perhaps change to gluten and lactose free foods, but try food diary first. You can buy over the counter medication such as 'windeze' for gas build up...

It could be IBS from your symptoms. Haemorrhoids can cause itching. They can occur with lots of diarrhoea or constipation. Have you seen your doctor for tests and diagnosis?

Thank you all for your advice, I really do appreciate your time. I haven't been able to check with my GP as I'm in the process of moving out of state and I'm hoping to get a new GP established within the next week of possible, otherwise I might try an urgent care place as a last resort. I've also noticed a weight drop of 7 lbs. in 2 days and no idea why, which is worrying but trying to stay calm and focused. Really sick to my stomach and in a bit of pain as far as being achy all over especially in the abdomen. Not eating much right now because of how my stomach is at the moment. I don't have the money or insurance to pay for a colonoscopy but hopefully I can just do a blood and stool sample check. Again, thanks to everyone for your wonderful support and a very Merry chrostmas!😁💗

Hi Robert, I had to deal with the same thing for 6 months. But it was due to anxiety, idk if your a mary j patient or if your a user, but it links to anxiety problems(experience myself). If anxiety induced all your symptoms wouldnt be regular, your be looking around your back. Just stuff like that. Just try and drink alot of water, workout and find an activity to keep your mind right. Dont drink pop or high fat foods either.

Burning can be acid if food goes through too quickly, itching can be down to poop still being in the rectum. If you get some wipes and use your finger underneath them, you can usually remove the excess and relieve the itching. It sounds like you have IBS, so speak to your doctor about this and ask about alverine and also for the excess gas try deflatine. Why people jump to the conclusion of cancer as a reason for their stomach problems before so many other much more common and likely reasons is beyond me. You are still young, it doesn't run in your family, you have very common symptoms it isn't that strange.

mate you dont have IBS if you have IBS you wont able to hold your toilet too much your stool will stink and it will be very very watery . Please just read about the Low stomach acid, the biggest symptoms of that itchy rectum. IBS is a very very serious thing with no much cure, hope you dont get that dont believe people here that much go checked but you are not IBS.

So I ended up going to the ER, and from there, they took blood samples, as well as a ct scan, both which came out spotless, as the practitioner told me. But I'm waiting to get seen by a GP and see what else it really is, since I'm still dealing with the constant stool changes, built up gasses, and abdominal pain. From there, I'm not sure what might be recommended. Still worried about a colonoscopy but more the price than anything else, since I've no insurance. It could be anything gastroentestinal but I guess I'll have to wait and see when I go in.
