Flushing face

[Mamastone12]

Does anyones face get red at times just across the nose and cheeks and has anyone had problems with gaining wieght and constant bloating. Im nauseas almost all the time and my stomach is sore when my little ones try to play on me and lay on my stomach it hurts its not sharp thou.

I think with gastro issues a little bit of flushing may be common. Do you have tender spots on your stomach? Mines is quite tender and bloated around my left middle side

Thank you for the reply and yes its mostly tender in the middle and my right upper side to mid right side

Have you been to your GP to get a diagnosis? The face flushing could be rosacea. Rosacea can also be linked to SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) which could cause tummy symptoms. You need a formal diagnosis of all of this though.

Thank you for the reply. Yes i have been to the Gp but didnt mention the face flushing because at the time i didnt belive they went with my stomach, but they did an endoscopy and colonoscopy and said they are going to treat it as ibs. But i will be sure at my next visit to bring up rosacea.

Mamastone,

I think the other comments sound sensible. Flushing can be caused by lots of different things, and probably isn't anything to worry about.

Do you get diarrhea, or floaty or oily poo? The reason I ask is that my husband has a rare condition called carcinoid syndrome and very strong flushing and diarrhea or malabsorbtion of fats are the main symptoms. Don't panic, as it's very rare so you probably don't have it, and anyway once it's diagnosed it's very treatable. But if you do have those symptoms then please do mention it to your GP.

This sounds a lot like me makes me a little nervous . I have had a colonoscopy, endoscopy,abdominal ultrasound,hida scan, stool study and numerous blood work that has came back clear. They diagnosed me with Ibs and gerd but none of the medications seem to work I am also on align for good bacteria.
