Bloating....

[Shari]

How can one have diarrhea and be so flippen bloated at the same time? I look as if I'm 5 mths pregnant. I feel miserable.

How does it go away

I agree it seems odd but if you see the post about "constipated diarrhea" it seems some things move fast while others don't.

Have you tried simethiocone? Gas x is really helpful.

peppermint in any form helps or beleive it or not well burnt toast,supposedly charcoal helps from the bread,its an old wives one seems to help

My GI doc thinks I am crazy! Told me to take a probiotic...sound right?

Your not crazy it's as common as muck with crohns.

I had to wear my "fat pants" today. I don't seem to have gas but any pressure on my midsection gives me a false sense of urgent pressure to go the bathroom.

I think I might invest in some pregnancy pants because my legs swim in these pants.

Your Doc is trying to help, the root could be sibo or a lesser of - bacterial over growth. Probiotics might help. They can take time , like a month or more. and d can increase for a bit with bad bacteria die off
Also undigested carbs can cause bloat like white breads, sugars, even fruit juices. They also feed the bad bacteria.
NGNG is right - ditto simethiocone too.

Hope u feel better.
