Worse swelling at night
Posted , 3 users are following.
After 5pm my belly swell right up anyone else have this? Most of day hard stomach but at night swells right up.
I am also worried as drank most nights for last 10 years i know i have barretts but getting pain below right rib intermitent and worried done too much damage to reverse.
Got family and want to make the changes liver function test came back ok as did ultrasound they were 3 months ago and worried it is much worse now.
Any advise would help.

Your right i have re joined the gym which i will start tonight and i will look into help. I don't drink a lot so hopefully it is not too late but as they say it is never to late to stop.
as shiela said below she has same symptoms and never drinks so i might be ok.
Thanks for your reply

Thank you for this, yes i have bad reflux and a lot of gas and barretts. Your message has made me realise that maybe it is not down to the alcohol and something else which is great as i am stopping.
I hope they find out soon what is causing it but my guess is we might never know. Did it hurt worse when you breath in?

If is was me I would def give up all alcohol till i was clear of problem and if I had barretts I'd have to think hard about consuming it again. Stay off fizzy drinks if your not doing so already. You've got to think balence, what can I do to help the inside of my digestive system sort it's self out, I wonder if some probiotics might give you a helping hand, it's something I never thought to try. It is very hard going acid reflux, I hope you feel some improvement soon, perhaps go see a holistic therapist. Hope I've not written too much, as you can see my last 5 months has been quite a journey and I'm still on it, my goal to be back how I was!

Gaviscone was useless i agree,
I have started hitting the gym and have stopped drinking so hope it shows improvement but bowel movements still bad even with fybogel so yesterday i tried this thing called lacose which never created a bowel movement but gave me a lot of wind which now makes me think my stomach is swelling due to gas which is what the nurse said when i went for ultrasound that i was full of gas.
I did have endscopy to confirm i had barretts yes but it was more by luck they found it they were trying to find out why my stomach was swollen, so next test is in 3 years but they have not told me how bad it is etc.
Why would you be wary of the gym?

it was just that I thought lots of gym exercise might make more acid shoot up the oesophagus just by the body movements if LES valve is not closing as it should. But I could be completely wrong of course and it might not have any bearing on the problem at all, it's why I thought relaxation/meditation might be better.
Why haven't they told you how bad your barretts is, do you think you ought to know?
My stomach has got very swollen again this last 2 nights, I thought I'd seen some improvement this last week, but it's started again, got quite windy again. I think I've upset it's balence again by taking some SF722 capsules I bought for my candida too strong. But the capsules I bought called Total Candida Defence from Silvertown have been good and they had started to settle down a lot of my stumoch discomfort and good improvements of the swelling and I was feeling that I was starting to mend in some places, but the SF722's I think have totally upset any ground I was making, so got to wait and see if I can get back to where I was. Silvertown has a good range of health help supplements do you take any?
the other thing I've just done is bought some ph strips off Amazon so I can check my alkaline/acidity see if I'm in balence with that.
I am quite sure that your stomach swelling is gas, mine is defo. It's a case of trying to get ones system back in balence again somehow
