Re: Tummy Bloating
Returning to the OP, Susie I hope you can arrange an appointment to see your doctor soon, it is important that you are checked over before anything else.I realise it is a difficult time for you at the moment but try to find time for yourself and your own health.

Re: Tummy Bloating
My god, I only wanted some advice on bloating, but look what I have done.Bratti and Mags, my GP appointment is on Tuesday, but then he will have to refer me to the Hospital for Allergy Testing which could takes weeks/months, so sorry can't tell you any more.
My stomach is still bloated and of late not been able to do much, because I have been back and forth to the Care Home for my MIL, and trying to move home the stress of it all is getting to me and now my MIL has died, so perhaps I can move on now.

Re: Tummy Bloating
Well have been to see my GP this morning and what a waste of time that was, might as well not bothered.For some reason he won't send my for Allergy Testing, instead I've got to have a blood test for Intolerance and a Scan. He thinks its to do with my Diverticulitis and Polyps that I have and suggested in the meantime to eat more fibre, such as:
Beans, Lentils, Brown Rice, quinoa, Fruit & Vegs, nuts & seeds, wholegrain Bread, Cereals, Brown Pasta.

Susie I know what bloating feels like. Have you eaten a load of rice or pasta recently before it started? I suffer from it sometimes and I generally avoid rice now as I have found that it clearly blocks my system. I suspect I have a narrow part in my intestine (for reasons I understand) and things like rice simply clump up and then block the passage of food. Have you ever tested your food transit time?
Look into that.
Meanwhile, consider getting some simple Epsom salts or equiv "Health salts" and have a couple of teaspoons of that in water. They will open up your tubes so to speak and help everything move along. Since you're an adult I can happily assume you will check if any conditions you have would prevent you from having health salts.

Re: Tummy Bloating
Hi Realist,Pasta I don't normally eat, if I do its probably once or twice a year, Rice I have a small amount about every two weeks. But as I said I do have Diverticulius and Polyps and have had several Colonoscopy tests done on me. Would the Health Salts make me go to the toilet though, as I have the runs all the time at least six times a day, so I don't want more of that.
Thanks for the Advice.
Bratti, thank you.

At this time in point I would say your GP is suggesting the best plan, up your fibre and cut out sweeteners if he's not suggested that
If you cant physically eat more fibre you ban buy fybogel, which you drink
The longer you can keep solids in you, the less room there is for the bacteria to multiply and cause bloating and pain so you need to firm up
