Extremely bloated, everyday struggle

Hey guy's,

Not sure if anyone can help. I suffer from what I can only say is extreme bloating and flatulence. No matter what I eat I always just seem to fill up with air. Im not sure if it's IBS or sibo. It's ruining my life as I'm always bloated. Anyone else had this? And how did you rid yourself of it. Diet? Antibiotics? Or combination or the two. I'm from the UK. Any help would be appreciated.

You could try deflatine (rennies in a yellow box) work wonders for me but I used to take like 3-6 a day Hun. Worth going to the doctors for though just to get checked over x

Hi there, Not pleasant I know! You can buy over the counter stuff, I found windeze very good but have a one to one chat with the pharmacist. Also eat more slowly and chew every mouthful. Certain food are notorious for wind eh, cabbage. Just Google them and avoid them. Hope that helps! 😊😊

I do wish I could help you but I have tried most things to no avail. My gastroenterologist said it was because I was constipated but laxatives don’t help with this awful problem. Like you it’s all food. I’ve tried Fodmap etc but it didnt really help. I do stay away from the high Fodmap foods ie cabbage onions garlic. Use goat milk but nothing seems to help. Even cut out gluten

He recommend a probiotic called Bio Kault but I haven’t started it yet. Have tried VSL3 but it didn’t help.

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

If it is SIBO you should try cutting down carbs and read a book called Fast Tract Digestion or info from the website digestivehealthinstitute.or.... It has really helped me. There's also an app. I used to use it a lot but now I have got used to the diet I do longer need to refer to it. Good luck
