Also, it can be caused by disease and organic disorders.

I've never been the kind of gal that gets bloated or gets cramps, even during that time of the month, and so I didn't know what to compare what I was feeling to. I'd often ask folks what exactly is it that happens when bloating occurs: is there something inflating in my tummy, is my tummy simply being filled with air, etc. After reading that third link, it is in fact the "inflation" of the intestines against the abdominal wall. Here's another question. Do you feel relief when you pee? I noticed that while I'm urinating, I don't feel it coming out. Well, I do feel it but it feels as if I'm squeezing my vagina to limit the amount that's coming out (sort of what you would do so that someone can't hear you pee). Sorry for the TMI. I also feel that I'm not comletely urinating all that I can because within 10 minutes, I have to go pee again and everytime feeling as if I'm not completely emptying my bladder. -------------------- Wendy IBS A thru Z Taking it one day at a time...

I have been taking this for about 2 months and I found that it does help. Be careful you don't take more than 1 tablet a day. At first I started taking 2 and it was making me sick. When I cut back to one a day it really started helping. It is a probiotic specifically for gas. I hope this helps.

I know that Beano and GasStop are suggested to be taken immediately before eating, but what about Gas-x? I also have just started trying fennel seed capsules...anyone take them and when? Do you see a difference? How many capsules/mg per dose? Also, a related gas question...bloating and gas can of course be uncomfortable, but what about the gas that has a REALLY foul smell? I keep trying to pinpoint which food is the culprit when this happens. Sometimes the smell is unbearable and so unladylike. -------------------- Originally IBS-D for a million years!

But the second part.. for me, dried fruit is a definite culprit. So I steer clear! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | >> (show all)
