Is bloating common for a certain 'type' of IBS.....?       04/02/05 10:50 PM Edit Reply Quote Taylahmai Reged: 11/03/04 Posts: 257 Loc: Western Australia I'm just trying to understand my bloating conundrum.... So calling all people with chronic bloat (that is those who wake up with painful bloating and go to sleep with even more painful bloating. A tummy that has been 6 months pregnant for as long as you can remember!!). Are you typically A, C or D? I'm just wondering whether chronic bloat is directly related to C... which is what I am. Or whether it isn't linked to the 'type' of IBS you are. I'm also interested to know what other chronic bloaters are suffering with. For example, at its best my bloat adds 2 inches to my waistline, at its worse I can be up to 3 inches bigger. Its so painfully uncomfortable that I struggle to understand what could be making it so bad. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of it. I've been '6 months pregnant' for 4 months now.... nothing I do seems to make it go away. I eat GF, low sugar, low fructose, and everything else within the diet guidelines. I keep my SF to IF ratio pretty constant, I drink tonnes of water, exercise every day.... and STILL I have C and chronic bloat! Whats wrong with me!! Sorry to whinge but I'm at the end of my tether. I seriously feel that noone could have a bigger bloat then me. I'm up for any competitors!! Anything to make light of a very depressing situation!! Plus has anyone ever heard of any radical treatment for IBS? Like hospitalisation on a restricted diet (like a liquid diet or something) to enable intestines to recover??? Or perhaps, if I went on a pureed vege diet (SF and IF) for weeks, so my body didn't have to break down anything, do you think that would help to combat the bloat?? Desperate times triggers desperate thoughts!!! -------------------- ~ Live life, don't let life live you ~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
