Swelling of the abdomen immediately after eating or drinking!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello!
I am 30 years old woman. I have suffered of comstipation all of my life, since baby. But three years ago, I started to abuse with Cassia, for around 7-8 months. It caused the problem. But in one moment, I decided to stop Cassia at all. And did it. But 18 months after I stopped with any laxatives, I still have this problem and it is not getting better.
After every eating or drinking (only water) my abdomen swell very, very much, as if I have a football gulp in the lowest part ot my abdomen. It happens almost immediately. It occurs even if I chew a gum.
PS: I have tried all of the diets, but no one had there been any effect.
The only thing that slightly relieves is to lie or the best - lift my legs AND abdomen up, so that my body to take the opposite position (legs and back on the wall).
Is this IBS?
And one more question. Is there a medical examination (imaging) which can show if there is a ptosis of the bowel?
Sorry for my mistakes in the English.

Hi there,
Have you been tested for SIBO? that can cause those symptoms.
I tested positive for sibo, I was put on a sibo protocol, diet and natural remedies (because I didn't want to take the antibiotics) and my abdomen stopped swelling.
Maybe you can ask to be tested for this. It's a breath test.
Good luck!

Thank you for the comment!
No, I haven't been tested for this. But I have tried all of the probiotics which exist, but without any effect... And I never have diarrhea, no matter what I eat.

I see. I was told not to take probiotics until I had finished my treatment, apparently sometimes and depending on which kind of probiotics can do more harm than good.
