Re: Is bloating common for a certain 'type' of IBS.....?       04/05/05 08:37 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan I was never anorexic but I never had any issues with my weight until my mid 20's. The last 8 years or so, I've really struggled. I did realyl good a couple of years back and lost 40 pounds!! I got down to a size 6!!! I was doing 5 miles a day on an eliptical trainer and really watching what I ate. I started gaining a little back at a time but was still a size 8 or maybe a 10 so I was ok with that as I am tall. Well, the past year has been very difficult for me with lots of other health issues and I've gained a lot of that weight back. The only exercise the dr's will allow me to do is swimming but I also anxiety eat so I'm not losing too much. Its also hard because I'm going through fertility stuff and hope to be pregnant in the next couple of months so I know I'm going to gain weight anyways. Its always such a struggle. Than add in a BIG BLOATED belly and that makes for a really bad self image. I did just go out and buy some new clothes as none of my spring/summer stuff fit. I figured if I lose a little weight I'm still going to need bigger sizes for when I get pregnant! I bought several really cute skirts that allow for tummy bloat and a couple of really cute capri pants with cute little matching shirts. I still try to dress kinda nice but its so hard when your belly acts up!! At least I work in a casual office so don't have to worry about finding suits to fit over a bloated belly, that would be very difficult! Its nice to know others have the same problems. You know, there are still a lot of medical people who still don't think IBS is any big deal and its still all in our heads!! So frustrating!!! I'd like them to go through just ONE day with my tummy and tell me its no big deal! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time..... Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
