So I went to the doctor last Friday and told her everything I've been experiencing...I'm supposed to go back and see her in two months! I think that's a really long time and she didn't really give me any good advice on how to help my body. She suggested Gas-X for my bloating because my stomach getting bigger + feeling full might be because of gas build up, at least that's what she thought. She also suggested Colace for my hard stools. I've taken the Gas-X and it didn't do anything, I also took some Tums for the acid I can constantly feel in my chest/stomach.
Anyone have any more advice or suggestions? I'm also starting my period this week and maybe I'm extra bloated because of that but I don't know for sure. I don't know if I'm getting fat or it's a physical problem but I think it's a physical problem. When I poke at my belly it doesn't feel like fat (like if I poke my thighs I know that's fat) it feels like my stomach is full of air. I'm not having a lot of gas coming out and I'm not burping a lot...I don't get it!!!
My doctor said it could be IBS or some disease that starts with a 'c' ... she said the 'c' disease is a disease in which I my body cannot absorb certain things. She also said that she would be testing for thyroid disfunctions and such. I haven't gotten any of my test results back yet and I guess I'm just impatient :(
Anywho I guess that's it...I just hate waiting so long and letting whatever is wrong with me continue, you know?
Thanks for any help I get!
