Hi Ladies - I am fairly new to the board and I really need some advice. For the past few months I have had weight gain, bloating, gas, constipation and headaches. No all at the same time, but I have a terrible headache every day... I have a horrible pain in my lower left side of my stomach and in my lower back. My stomach has gotten puff over the past few months. I always feel tired and worn down. I have been taking laxatives to relieve the constipation, but I think I am starting to rely on them.
I went to my gyno for my annual and she did a pelvic exam and said nothing feels unusual. She ran some blood test and everything came back okay. I am scheduled for an ultra sound later in the month, but I am not sure it's "female" related?
I am only 28, but I feel 88. I workout a few times a week and try to eat a pretty healthy diet.. If you can relate and have any advice - I would love to hear from you!! I need relief...
Thanks -
Brandy

Hi and Welcome Brandy,
Well
Thanks Wren - I appreciate the advice. I do need to start writing everything down to see if certain foods trigger the pain. I drink a lot of water and have been exercising - I will throw in a bit more fiber and see if that helps..
Thanks a lot *this is a very informative message board.
