hi,

I am 25 years old and randomly had my stomach pop out 3 months ago. I am BLOATED, heavy, full, foggy, no appetite, feeling tugs & flutters in my stomach.... and growing depressed.

I am not pregnant. I haven't gained any weight.

I have gone to a gastrointestinal doctor who recommended some diet changes which hardly helped. (FODMAP)

I have visited a gynocologist several times basically having to push to run tests. No has answers. no one cares. Seen a urolologist.. no real answers. Only suggestions for probiotics which arent doing anything. Even first thing in the morning its extended out, not my old, normally flat tummy.

Something is WRONG! help? 😦

    see another doctor and NOW! if you ring 111 you'll see an independent doctor and via their report they will see how much you've had enough and that you are serious. they will then have to act. failing that ask the manager.

    You should probably self present at your nearest A and E ASAP. Get your bloods checked (if you haven't already done so).

    If possible (maybe through your own GP) get scans arranged and ask for a CA 125 test (again if you haven't already done so). - I'm assuming you're female (?)

    Low FODMAP doesn't really work for everyone. GAPS seems more effective.

    Hope you get to the root of it and are on your way back to normal soon.
