Hi guys, I’ve been struggling the last few weeks with my MS and think I’m having/had a relapse.
I’ve noticed my stomach keeps bloating, I’m a trim guy and was an avid gym goer, now
i look like I’m pregnant, it’s really uncomfortable and I just want to lie down more so than usual now
just so the bloating subsides. Anyone had this experience or know if there’s any medication for it?
Thanks xxx
I’ve posted a few times about this too Carlos. Suggestions on here were along the lines of food intolerance… I cut out lactose for a week. Slightly better but no real improvement. I’ve always been proud of my flat stomach, for a woman of my age so it’s pretty disappointing. Threw a hissy fit last night. Trying on my dresses from last summer for my upcoming holiday…Oh dear.
I don’t eat rubbish nor do I eat a lot. I’ll be really interested in any replies too!
Hi - I blame bread! or wheat/gluten for bloating, but I also need laxatives due to MS effects which don’t seem to be related to any food I eat
Just been told Peppermint tea works. Colpermin capsules which can be bought without prescription also, apparently. Read all information leaflet!
Oh Dear! The bloating thing is really uncomfortable. So I do sympathise tremendously with other folk who suffer from this. Not only have my torso muscles gone totally flabby I too am steadily gaining weight. No matter how much I try to reduce my intake it still piles on. My flat tummy is long gone!
I find the bloating occurs when I eat any kind of carbs? Everything from potatoes to pasta. It’s just not fair. I do find that real mint cordial with some water after my evening meal does seem to help with bloating and bowel spasms.
Not sure if this advice will be any help but it may be worth a try at the mint Carlos.
All the best, Anne
