It may not be this, but I have coeliac disease as well as lupus (another auto immune disease) it means I can't eat gluten. Bloating was one of my main symptoms. I was referred to gastro & diagnosis was made from blood test then biopsy, had to keep eating gluten & feeling terrible tho!!
Thank you AlisonM I have had blood test and a breath test but all came back clear. Which is confusing with the way I have been feeling bloated and sick every day and worse after food.
I do, not so much the greasy mouth feeling but the bloating and nausea. I also worked out eating gluten made me feel worse tho I don't have a diagnosis with the gluten it helped to remove it. I find buscopan colpomin and domperidone helps too.
I would suggest using a pro-biotic such as live yoghurt or Yakult. Also cleaning your teeth with bicarb once or twice a week. And avoid mass produced bread. A few people have told me about feeling bloated after eatiing some brands of wholemeal. So try another label.
but other symtoms include raw nagging right side pain set of when looking at or eating food and yucky yellow poo
have been taking 2 omeprazole a day to heal gastris as well so have been taking slippery elm 2 3 tmes a day and the odd teaspoon of aloe vera juice which is quite foul and some probiotics got jelly pastille ones out of boots
over two weeks this has finally settle things down pain is reduced to a flash pain and occasional nag but not anything like it was
waiting 3 months on nhs for gastroenterology so cant be dying or so you may think
but slippery elm seems to sooth so give it a try
its availiable in capsule form at health food stores or holland and barrett. so imn ot sure what sorted it out but possible the whole concoction . i find pepto b and gaviscon make me worse giving me faster motillity and severve diahorria
ive cut out dairy and wheat as well so im not bloated anymore its all been trial and error but all these changes seem to have settle whaever is wrong but im not convinced its gone completly away just calmed it all
Thank you permentantgrowingpain I am in peptol bismol and lansaprozol been on lansaprosol after feeling like this it's stopped my heart burn but nothing eles and now I am on peptol bismol as well but still no help also on sickness tablets but still nothing and nothing is showing up on the blood test and breath test I had. I no it's not normal felling bloated and sick everyday and worse after food. I hope you get a diagnosis soon and get on the medication you need to be on.
i hade heartburn for ages thought it might be helipylori as i had never had stomach issues ever before
doc sayed no whatever makes you think youve got that as if it was a privilage to have this mucky bug so trundled on for 2 months on omeprazole
then had a nice bleed then they sent me for nice tube down to stomach lovely experience never agian its horrible
anyway result was gastris about the size of an old penny in area and it was infected with the imaginary helipylori so get checked for that it causes amazing heartburn i thought i had breast issues because of pain as well . a there is a poo test now for it which i had 6 months later to make sure it was gone and my other symtoms were not that
I also have the bloating, nausea and nasty feeling/taste in the mouth, as well as mouth ulcers!! Can't take the renitadine(?) prescribed, as it makes me worse. I've reduced bread intake and feel a lot better, wholemeal bread and pasta made me worse. I've also tried to stop any foodstuffs that rely on fermentation ...
I can't have some of the yoghurts as they give me acute stomach pains ( they also ferment) but have found activa 0% fat with fresh blueberries a couple of times a week helps. It never truly disappear, but like lupus it's a case of control and living with it the best you can.
Just remember, what works for one may not work for all, but it's worth a try.
Hello lizzidrippin thank you I will give activia a try, I hardly eat bread who anything with wholemeal init. I'll have to look that up the food I eat just in case. I don't eat yogurts or very rarely pasta. I'm confused nothing seems to work with my lansaprosol, peptol bismol and I'm on sickness tablets.
holland and barret today had probiotics extra stregth for 7 50 half normal price for anyone wishing to take these they do work and if like me you are cutting out dairy
its a good way to get it into you without consuming yogurts
im on apro soya based but no probiotics in it i dont think
