Bloating constant

[Hollymariaxox]

Hey ! Just wondering if you guys have constant bloating or is it on and off?This last two months I feel like it just hasn't gone down once, whereas before it was in line with my pains etc, but now I'm just constantly bloated 😩..

Also does anyone know if this means anything particular if it's constant? Or can that just be a symptom also?

Thanks

✨♥️🙌

Hi Holly!No expert here but I have the same issues.

I had wrote a post about bloating a couple weeks ago. My bloat is extremely painful, more painful than the endo pain itself. I've been recommended going to my local Holland and Barrett and grabbing some bloating tablets and Peppermint of Oil capsules which I feel really work along side a hot water bottle and some paracetamol!

I think its a symptom that just won't go away sadly but I get it once a week after a big meal so maybe clamping down on your diet and avoiding stodgy foods like bread may also help reduce the amount of times it occurs.

Hey lovely!Aww same! Honestly I have never had anything like it in my life, I constantly look four/five months pregnant! Holland and Barrett is definitely a good shout,I will be going tomorrow I think and having a look thanks!

Yeah I have started to try smaller meals and healthy snacks between to see if it will make much of a difference, so far it seems that the bloating is always there and obviously after a meal it doubles in size 😩 so hopefully some recommendations on here will be worth a try 🙌🏻🙏

Tae care, thanks so much! Xx

Hi Holly,

I've been uncomfortably bloated since mid Nov. Some days I struggle bending over to put my shoes on! I take peppermint oil capsules and try and limit foods that I think make it worse. Where is your bloating? I feel like mine is worse above my belly button. I did have an abdominal ultrasound in the past while like this and the report said excessive air throughout but no issues with gallbladder or liver which is what I was worried about.

I think it is just part of the endometriosis and it will eventually pass. Sorry no words of wisdom but you are not alone!

Hey lovely! Aww I'm sorry your also suffering 🥺 mine is mainly worse right at the lower of my abdomen and feels so hard also lumpy in places which I found recently and thought was odd as never noticed before 😞 thanks for your reply this place really makes you feel less alone! I will definitely try the capsules I think! Thanks! Take care xxx

Hi Holly

I went through a phase of being constantly bloated too. It makes the pain so much worse!

My bloating is now mostly under control - I can’t say for certain what did this, but it began to ease up when I started taking Qlaira (a contraceptive pill that contains Dienogest and body-identical oestrogen) and switched to a low gluten diet. I’m not disciplined enough to go gluten free, like so many people recommend, but I have switched out things like pasta, bread, biscuits and cakes for gluten-free alternatives. I think it’s likely either or both the change in diet and change in pill have reduced the pain for me.

I hope you find something that works for you. x

Thanks for your reply! It's not nice is it 😞 !Yeah I have looked at trying to do gluten free I just feel I would struggle so much, being an already fussy eater 😩 but have definitely started to cut down on it massively! I'm glad these changes have helped your bloating subside slightly!

Thanks for your reply, take care xxx
