Bloated

[fruitsalad]

I always feel bloated, but it seems worse today, and I seem to need the toilet after every meal. Is there anything I can take that may help

[woofgang]

what does your doctor say? Have you kept a food diary?

[Old_Geezer]

How about a couple of pints of prune juice ?

Hope it goes soon.

I agree with woofgang. You need to do a food diary, and , I hestitate to say this, but found it worked for me, eat less. Cut out alchohol for a while and watch the carbs.

I've been taking super strength probiotics for a few months now and they have made an immeasurable difference. I would go so far as to say they have transformed my day to day life. I bought them on Amazon (about £13.99 for 180 one-a-day tablets).

I can look at my account if you want further information.

Yes please LadyCG

Could be I.b.s. Doc gave me mebeverine after a scan at hospital. Later same symptoms so had colonoscopy. Found nothin sinister thank god but you have to watch certain foods. Eat the wrong stuff you soon find out. Stay near the loo.

I've just checked and the tabs I bought are currently unavailable.

However there are a good range of super strength probiotics on Amazon. Try to go for something that contains a minimum 10 billion CFU (colony forming unit) and one that has plenty of good reviews.

Also, you may find that a product is available to buy singularly, but is also available as a 3-pack which works out much cheaper. It could take a few weeks before you notice a difference so perseverance is required. My gut is now back to normal and healthy without needing to exclude any foods, from having to rush to the loo several times a day with crippling diarrhoea, interlaced with long spells of constipation. Best money I ever spent.
