Bloating

Yesterday I had my breakfast and about an hour later my stomach bloated so bad I couldn't button or zip up my trousers I'd say it swelled to double its size & I haven't a clue what I've eaten or drank for it to behave in such a way, it was quite painful as you could imagine.

Has anyone else had this?

What causes it?

How can I treat it if it happens again?

What did you have ? Is it first time it’s happened? Also were you upset or in a hurry or something ?

Need to be a detective !!!!

Bloating and poor gut function very common when under medicated

Your high thyroid antibodies confirms Hashimoto’s

Have you had coeliac blood test done yet

Strictly gluten free diet frequently helps reduce gut symptoms, but important to do coeliac blood test BEFORE cutting gluten out

Low stomach acid is common hypothyroid symptom

Thousands of posts on here about low stomach acid

How long have you been on 75mcg levothyroxine

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose increase

Always make sure to do blood tests as early as possible in morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Hi

I suffered awful with bloating, but, since giving up gluten I’ve been a lot better.

What did you eat for breakfast?

Best wishes

I often experience bloating like you've described when I eat foods from the nightshade family (especially peppers give me a belly like I'm nine months pregnant). It's almost always a reaction to food (in my case) and I found that when I follow the AIP diet, the bloating goes away.
