Hi! My name is soulful and I just joined. So happy to find this forum.
Tonight I am so severely distended in the upper abdominal area that I just want to scream. It is painful! I was diagnosed with IBS 2 months ago. But none of the Dr.s can help me with this constant distended tummy! I am just so miserable. I work out 4-5 times per week...no weight loss, although I am just a tad over weight, but even working out does not seem to be helping this severe bloating. I am thinking seriously of going to the ER just to see if they can suggest anything. I am at the end of my rope....any help out there?

Were you also tested for upper GI problems (endoscopy) for reflux, hiatal hernia, gastritis or ulcers, or for gallbladder disease or stones. An ultrasound can detect gall stones and I think there is some other test to determine gallbladder functioning. Big belly bloating is the pits. Not only does it hurt, but you look like hell while it's killing ya. At least at my age no one asks when I'm due!

Hi Susie! Thanks for responding. I had my Gallbladder removed about 5 years ago. I just had an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. I was treated for H Pylori, taking 16 pills a day. The Docs all say IBS and nothing they can do....think I will ask for all my money back I paid them.  I just turned 59 so believe me no one actually would ask me if I was expecting! I have been up all night with a severely bloated hard as a rock upper abdomen w/pain. I feel awful today. Yes, I do have GERDS.

Soulful,
Found out what PM means. Tried to PM you too but couldn't do it either. I had an full hysterectomy at age 37. I had Endometriosis real bad. Ate all the wrong foods today and now paying the price!! I like to drink Fennel tea. It helps the gas a little. I guess I better get back to brass tacks and stay on my diet for IBS!!
