I am doing the fiber-still have problems with bowel movements coming down-after the fiber I have real bad abdomen bloating and cushing noises in stomach. Is this anything to worry about?What should I do?

Are you taking any yogurt with acidophius culture or a probiotic supplement??? The intestinal flora may still be out of balance. Until the intestinal bacteria gets in balance ---you can readily have gas and bloating!!!

Sometimes a high fiber diet can actually cause stomach upset, gas, and bloating in individuals who are intolerant to certain ingredients in high fiber foods. Such as gluten. Also other foods you are eating may also be the culprit. Many people are intolerant to dairy products. Try eliminating certain foods one at a time to see which foods are the culprit.

I started on acidolifulus and priobiotic bloating is worse-now have lower abdomen cramps. Is it possible there is bowel movements blocked up in stomach? worried and my doc is no help. Have small gassy loose stools now. Will this gas goe away on its own.

You know it sort of sounds like a gastrointestinal infection. You may want to ask your doctor to do a white blood count to see if you have a colon infection.

Lower abdomenal bloating and pain rearly go away on their own. You have to identify the problem and get treated!!!

Take care---Harry

Harry, I had a normal movement this morning-than went back to loose ones. I have to take the fiber a little at a time thru the day or makes things bad on me. When I take fiber the low cramps go away. Still think it is a infection? I don;t have the money to go to the doc right now. My stomach is messed up cause of stress now to. Thank you for your time.
