Bloated stomach

[Bubu]

I have this condition of having too much air in the stomach this could be due to the fact that I use to have a big tummy that is full of crap which is now gone. I use to think that "because my tummy is use to be big then the intestine are large and now that its empty most of the time then air comes in" I thought I will wait till intestine shrinks then maybe air will not go in. But its been years and I see no improvement. I remedy this by doing the 5 Tibet 5 rights before getting up of bed in the morning and each time a I belched lots of air. anyone have a suggestion.

Parasites Bubu and therefore strange digestion.

It could also be some allergies to some foids. Or you belly muscles needing exercise badly. A friend of mine, very petite, who got normal weght twins, has her belly muscle separating in a kind of hernia when carrying the twins in her belly. Only surgery could have helped. Check that too.

I would start with checking for parasites because it is the easiest.

[Bubu]

I have good belly muscles since that is one I suspected before so I remedied with abs exercise but does not work. I'll go for the parasites I have that in mind too. Is there some thread on parasites here? How do I check for parasites?

Simethicone tabs, chew your food thoroughly and stay away from common food allergens. Your intestines are muscles that expand and shrink naturally. If you truly had flabby intestines that hadn't shrunk back it would be kind of unusual. But I am not a gastroenterologist, so don't know for sure.

The gut is full of weird bacteria. They are supposed to be there. We coevolved with this stuff in symbiosis. The current alternative health care zeal to "cleanse" our digestive systems through colonic irrigation is a scam.

If you have done numerous cleanses you could have stripped your gut of beneficial bacteria, or altered your microbiome in such a way that you have this problem.

Wish you luck with this problem! And if you can't get any kind of relief, make sure you have a dog so you have someone to blame the flatulence on! There is a reason the queen surrounds herself with corgies!

When I feel bloated it's because I ate gluten (wheat) products.

[Jean-Marie]

Diamataceous Earth is the safest for parasites. I would also try Grapefruit Seed Extract. Both are easy, safe and not very expensive.

[Zanshin]

Celiac disease (gluten-sensitive enteropathy), sometimes called sprue or coeliac, is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction damages your small intestine's lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption). The intestinal damage often causes diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, bloating and anemia, and can lead to serious complications.

I personally feel a lot more people are sensitive this way than statistics allow.

Further I would venture that reaction from ingesting rancid grain is not sufficiently
accounted for in gluten intolerance assessment.

Where traditionally (pre-preservatives), the village baker baked fresh bread daily
from fresh ground flour sourced from the village miller -
in the modern era baked goods could potentially contain preservative-laden flour
ground months or, in extreme cases, years previous.

The concept that flour begins to turn rancid as little as 3 days after milling is well supported.

As a solution, many advocate investing in a small portable mill and storing whole grains for
grinding to flour and baking fresh as required.

A friend of mine worked with a researcher specialised in grains. In an extensive study on gluten, he found out that 25% of people are now intolerant (not all allergic yet, but intolerant). His research was never published, because of the wheat industry lobbying.

But please, remember that wheat is dried before harvest with heavy dosage of glyphosate. People may be intolerant to this pesticide in fact.

Thanks for the tip. I already have a dog , however I will remember to blame him next time :) haven't done any colonic cleanse. I can normally relieve the gas by simple abs exercise. I have also observe that whenever there is lots of gas in the stomach I tend to have back pains and when I massage the painful areas I will start belching and the pains are gone. its as if gas enters the veins through the gut and exit the same way kind of weird. I have made a self massage device for this. I wish I can post the photo its a very nice massage device made out of my finishing sander. But "project Avalon said, :upload failed".

tried diatomaceous earth my gut stop for 2 days but nothing happened aside from that. I rarely consume wheat products or any glutenous food, so its not gluten problem. I feel that bread actually helps a little when I ate.

We have a version of grapefruit here that is green and free for taking I actually tried grapefruit juice fast twice. since old folks said it will get rid of parasites. nothing happened.

I also wake up from gut pain 2 or 3 times at night and eat. Thus my eating habit is small meals between 8 pm and 4 am. My sleep is also like 1 hour naps 3 hours at most. Since my sleep is 2 to 6 hours each night. 2 hrs when I am very healthy 6 when I mess up my health with too much food and less exercise.

my sister had that, waking up at night and needing to eat. It was discovered that she had a stomach bacteria. 2 - 3 weeks of antibiotics and it stopped, forever.

she was so glad to have nights where she would not wake up 2-3 times, fulfilling night sleep.

But you have to be tested for this.

You definitely do not sleep enough, truly. This does not help you. 6 hours a night is barely enough, two is not.

[onawah]

It may have something to do with your PH balance.
Most people are too acidic.
Taking 1/2 -1 teaspoon of simple baking soda with water between meals could help a lot.

Thanks but baking soda is kind of first aid I want to know the cause of being to acidic and begin from there if that's the cause. Baking soda is not intended to be taken regularly or every meal. its not a food. There is a good chance of having adverse side effects on long term use. I am for curing.

thanks Flash thats probably the closest I will have a test. But how will this affect the good bacteria's. Perhaps its good to follow up for a good bacteria seeding after the bacteria killing before any crappy bacteria takes over. Any more suggestions on this.

You could be right that I lack sleep but still I am very healthy as proven by a recent tooth extraction without anti-bio-tic. I am actually imagining how much more I could be healthier without this one single health issue. Well i use to not consider this as not a health issue since I am very healthy in spite. But now maybe I can be healthier.

[Wmel]

I have bloated stomach issue for years and the 5 tibetan rites really helps a lot. My main cause might be lactose intolerant, and acidic stuff such as tea and coffee.

[onawah]

Yes, it's a temporary measure, but if you can't sleep due to gas, it could help a lot--temporarily...until you find the cause--which may be that you are too acidic.

yes the rites is helping me too. but still the issue is here. thanks I will look from this perspective also.

after reading a bit I presume its not lactose intolerance since cheese helps me in some way. Maybe coffee, but I seldom drink coffee and tea. So its not. Thanks for the suggestion I appreciate it.

[Seabreeze]

Try this :
Squeez 1/2 lemon into drinking water. Drink this every morning on an empty stomach. In the evening you take two garlic pills (1 pill has 2000 mg garlic powder).befor you go sleep........... It will cleans out your intestine...... and helps you to get rid of some parasites.. Check it out. It really works. ;)

Oh, and the lemon juice helps to balance your ph level. I am doing this myself for severall weeks and it has an amazing effect on me.

Thanks I will start tonight though no garlic tablet yet so I'll start with raw garlic. Or can I use raw garlic. Why the garlic tablet.

I don't think eating frequently, in your case is a good idea. The body never has enough time to complete it's processes before you are putting it back to work digesting. Maybe try intermittent fasting. For instance, eat food in an 8 hour time frame and don't eat the rest of the time. I do this and it is really easy and very beneficial.

[spade]

i tried a 48 hr water only fast a few weeks back. My usually bloated tummy was completely flat after 25 hrs into it... like completely. so happy with it. This also tends to happen when I take the turpentine 1tsp dose.

[angelfire]

I have suffered from digestive problems and insomnia for most of my life and am becoming convinced that the two are inextricably linked. Having removed most of the nasties from my gut, I'm now moving on to try natural, home-made probiotics such as Rejuvelac (very easy to make) and fermented vegetables.

[Deborah (ahamkara)]

I had bloated abdomen and increasing stomach/ gut pains for two weeks. I do not eat wheat, meat or dairy. Ended up in ER. After extensive bloodwork, doctors found severe anemia, super high platelet count, low red blood cell count, diminished oxygen capacity and very low lymphocyte count - I was severely malnourished. Now in the process of rebuilding my blood and pains/ bloating are nearly gone. Enlisted help of doctor trained in Chinese medicine and added organic grass fed beef times a week.

It might be worthwhile to have an extensive blood work up to check some common markers. Good luck!

[CurEus]

this may seem to be a bit counter intuitive but baking soda, useful as a stop gap measure for heartburn, and/or indigestion.......it may be the very last thing you may want/need.

I had some pretty severe issues and it turned out I needed ........ bile salts to increase the acidity of my stomach. I just was not digesting properly. my stomach acid was too weak.
This situation developed as I consumed a lot of "diet" soda pop and upset my gut flora/microbiome/microbiota. Aspartame and other "fake foods" can cause problems.

So, for me, off the fake foods, Bile salts and digestive enzymes with prebiotics and probiotics for a few weeks.
Some are freely available in cultured/fermented foods like some select yogurts, kefir, real/truly fermented saurkraut. Some mushroom strains are also helpful.

The stomach microbiota ecology acts in several important ways.
it is actually 80% of the body's immune system........
It is also your second brain.........an upset to this system can create tremendous and seriously hazardous situations. Anxiety, panic disorders, schizophrenia tend to locate and generate in.........the stomach. Be it poor nutrient absorbtion or opportunist infections from things like canddia/yeast over growths..............it often begins in the gut/stomach.

We and our bodies are more than 75 percent foreign bacteria........they tend to be in "balance"........but not always.

I do not want to be an alarmist, but felt it important that another perspective be offered.
I am not a medical professional ad "free advice" is worth what you pay for it.........which means nothing!

Be well and I hope you recover quickly and find some relief.......

[CurEus]

will add that apple cidre vinegar was also helpful

[Bubu]

Fake foods is also one that I am looking into. But this time I'm considered GMOs as fake so no rice corn... I just did the switch to sweet potato and cassava.

[Seabreeze]

Sure fresh garlic is always better than the pills. Me, I have a hard time eating fresh garlic..this is the reason why I got myself some garlic pills....... And with the pills..you know exactly how much mg you eat daily. It just makes it easier.

But fresh stuff is always the best to eat....you are right about this....

Hi Bubu
Make sure it's not 'IBS'

Look into the FODMAP diet.
"Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols"

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-fodmap-diet

I've just done the diet and now one at a time reintroducing goods, one at a time to see which I should not eat.

[Bubu]

Thanks all for the suggestion. I'm going to tackle this systematically. I've just started with eliminating the fake foods, will be on it for 2 or 3 days if no improvement will try low fodmap. will put the doctor to the last priority.

You don't have to have celiac disease to have gluten sensitivity. Most people have some sensitivity, according to Dr. Joel Wallach. If I eat gluten I feel bloated and get symptoms of hemorrhoids; and I gain weight unnecessarily. And then I crave more...

Try a mug of hot water

Try a mug of hot water

simple but may do. will try it. thanks
