OK this may be gross but here goes. I have been having the worst bloating. It started about a year ago. After everything I eat I feel so sick and bloated and my stomach is as hard as a rock. Also the worst thing is that I burp ALL THE TIME!!! I can drink a sip of water and burp. I am constaly burping and always (Sorry) farting. If anyone knows what this is and what I could do to help it please let me know! Thanks

This indicates that your gut flora are out of balance and you should start taking a Probiotic supplement to re-balance them. This contains Lactobacillis and other friendly bacteria that live in your gut. Keep them in the fridge, do not take with hot drinks and take twice daily on an empty stomach. This should recolonise the good bacteria and your gas and bloated belly should resolve.

Thank you soo much!! Like all the gas a bloating is starting to ruin my life cause its like I don't wanna eat with anyone cause as soon as I take a bit baamm the gas comes. But I will definitly try that!! I guess you can get it at the GNC store or something? I will probably go and get it tomarrow. Also I hate taking medicicne. I do not take any even if I have a headache. Medicine makes me feel weird. Will those make me feel weird? Are they safe? Thanks a bunches!!

The supplements she recommended is some of the same stuff found in yogurt with live active cultures so yes it is safe. Get the supplements from your local walmart or wherever and pick up some yogurt too as these will all help.

Oh wow thanks. I dread going to the doctors that why I havent gone. I'm glad to know that it can be treated overthecounter. Could this be anything eles (what I'm experiencing) too? Something serious? Thanks for the suggestions
