5 year "pregnancy"

[Lyndschet]

I'm all new to this...so here i go. I had a cesarean section 5years ago and contracted the "c-diff" superbug. My digestive system was severly damaged and due to this it has left me with chronic ibs. I have all the debilitating syptoms, but the worst i find is the constant bloated stomach, it is the size of a 9month pregnant tummy...all the time!! It never goes away🙁. I just wondered if anyone can offer advise as my specialist and gp "i feel" are at a loss.

I can only answer you based on my own cesarean.

There are 2 things I would start with:

1) Your digestive system has become super sensitive and disrupted. I would suggest getting checked out for dysbiosis (Candida/SIBO) that may have set in and be going on in the background. This article gives more details of symptoms and tests: sickofibs.com/ibs-symptoms/...

2) Consider that the superbug may not be the only thing going on. Even though your mind has moved on, your body may still be holding a lot of nervous tension locked inside, and this may be at the root of your extreme bloating (which I had for a number of years too). What helped me a lot was Reiki energy. If you have a few sessions with someone local it can help appease inner tensions that you don't have access to and let out any associated emotions.

Hope this helps,

Alison

Thanks very much Alison for getting back to me😆 I will have a look into dybiosis ( i have not heard of that). I also think the stress of being ill all the time does contribute. I had a course of hypnotherapy at wythensawe ( manchester). I will look into Reiki. Thanks again😙😙
