its my first post, i have a question! i am actually on a waiting list for a colonoscopy, but its taking forever, my blood tests have come back fine. i've had D for about a year!! never any pain,but trips to the bathroom 6-7 times per day! so i've tried every high\low fibre diet, and nothing seemed to help, but for a month ive been doing a low residue diet, and no more D!! maybe go to the bathroom twice a day!! But, now i have awful tummy pains whenever i eat, and bloating! (i look like a pregnant woman!!) does this happen to anyone else?
 
Hi b4britney, welcome. Yes, I get really bloated sometimes. I seem to start the morning off with a flat tummy, and then as the day goes on everything I eat or drink (even if it's just water) bloats me out a little bit more, and by the end of the day I've got quite the round tummy. Good luck with your colonoscopy, I hope it can get you some answers.
 
thanks, hopefully they call soon!! i just read today that peppermint tea might help with bloating... so i might try that!
