I've been having another "thing." Since Monday, I have been having the worst bloating and gas like you wouldn't believe.


I am not eating anything different than I normally do. Really.


Monday I felt so icky I went home from work. And that's a biggie for me.


What the heck is this? Anyone else do this?


I can't bear any more funny lines from Frank...this morning he told me when he came to bed last night he saw a circle of dead flies all around the bed! Grrr.....

Hi Red


Well sometimes I do seem to have more gas than others. Not sure what might be causing your problem. Seems to me now sometimes things I would normally eat that used to cause me no problem at all sometimes do.

I forgot to mention that the associated discomfort is keeping me awake at night. Am also having an occasional nearly doubling over cramp high up in the abdomen--just a few inches down from the bottom of the sternum. Not too many, just enough to get my attention.

HI Red


That sounds like some serious gas problem. Sorry girl have no idea. If it continues maybe you should see your Dr. Our Dr told my dh that he is swallowing too much air sometimes when he eats and that causes the excess gas.


Sure hope this gets better for you!!


HUGS

Have you been getting constipation or diarrhea along with the gas and bloating? I have IBS and I often have gas and bloating. I had the cramping so badly last spring that I ended up in the ER. Turns out I also have diverticulitis. I always have to keep anti gas meds in my pocket book as well as the bathroom, because I never know when I'm going to have an attack of it.

Nope, none of that...I haven't been eating much the past two days just to see if it would settle down. Today all I had was V8 juice. The flatulence seems to have subsided. So who knows? Just one of those

Red,


I don't have any answers, but just a comment.....I, too, have noticed more problems with bloating and gas and it seems to have no connection with what I eat!
