This American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update and best practice advice statements describe the definition, clinical features, and treatment for the 3 common symptoms of belching, abdominal bloating, and abdominal distention. When these symptoms are frequent or severe enough to impair daily activities, they are categorized as disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBIs).
The clinical advice herein is evidence-based when data were available, but when insufficient data were available, level 5 evidence is provided on the basis of expert opinion and is empirically based on observational data and expert consensus of the authors.
I started using a probiotic (one often mentioned on this site) a couple of months ago and after a week my stomach symptoms got much worse for the next few weeks.I stopped taking them and after another two weeks my symptoms improved.
I have tried other probiotics in the past and never carried on with them as my symptoms seemed to get worse.
I noted with interest that it was number 10 recommendation on the research paper that said probiotics are
a no no for treating bloating and all the discomfort that comes with it.
I am really disappointed as I was hoping these probiotics were going to be the answer.
Hi, glad it's not just me. I thought I would be safe on Aflorex as it is supposed to be very good for ibs but not for me. Oh well, I will keep looking for some other treatment.
