I'm not sure if this is the right section, but I've been having problems with my stomach/intestines. Well my stomach/intestines is bloated, so bloated it feels like I'm going to burst or as some people have told me I look like I'm ready to have a baby. It started 4 weeks ago the doc told me I had pulled my stomach mussels my stomach area goes in to mussel spasms that are painful my stomach varies in size sometimes it’s not so bloated. I cant eat a lot or drink to much as this puts more pressure on my stomach Also I've been tired a lot lately and I've had shortness of breath. I have had tests done (pregnancy, blood, sugar, x-ray, heart monitor and ultrasound but nothing was found. I am now feeling depressed and feed up please help. And all water works and BM are fine.
Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

I am having the same problem and have an endoscopy scheduled but not for 2 weeks. I am trying to move it up. Dr. took me off all dairy products, fresh fruit and veggies. Am allowed noodles, rice, chicken and fish broiled. Frankly I am not getting better still keep loading up with gas but maybe it might work for you. I take a lot of GAS-X to get rid of bloat. I can hear the gas working its way thru my system and feel it, also. Sometimes it is painful. Anyway, you might try the diet and see if it works for you. He particularly stressed no mild products.

THANK YOU Canyondweller for your reply i will try the diet you recomended, my doctor never mentioned anything about what i eat as i had some cereal last night and that was it 6 hours of MEGA cramping pains my stomach and still getting slight craming now and still bloated the doctor prescribed mintec peppermint oil capsules but they did'nt work last night i have noticed that milk does not help so i will keep clear of it and try some rice and chicken as i had no idea on what i should be eating. so would it be ok if i bought some gas-x to take as well as the mintec. i will let you know how i get on on the chicken and rice? thank you

hi i am very worried now about going to the specialist about my stomach as i have just found out that someone i know has the same simptoms as me and has done for the past 9 months but her condition is now worse that ever and she thinks there is some thing else wrong with her as well she had a smear test come back with abnormal pre cancerous cells and had them cut out she seams to think it is something to do with that. i have had the exact same as her i am 9months overdue for my smear test and now rather concerned as to what i have.
if any one and anyone you has gone through this maybe simlar symptons i would like to hear from you no matter what the out come was.
thank you
