Stomach Causing.....

Hey Everyone!!!

I have a queston/ concern

is is possible for gas/constipation/bloating to cause shortness of breath

i have been having quite a bit of shortness of breath going up flight of stairs, when i bend over or crouch

down (especially), streaching.... my stomach is really bloated i look pregnant..... i am having diffiiculties with bm's....drinking and eating is adding pressure to my stomach.....i've tried metamucil it is't helping much.... i ended up using a laxitive... it didn't help much either.....

i actually went to a walk in clinic and explained that i have been having barely 1 bm a week

the guy actually laughed at me and said that was an extreme exageration..... and that that wasn't possible

is it possible my stomach is causing these breathing problems? it is begining to really bother me....

anyways thanks for listening and any advice

:(

Right before I went gluten-free my stomach was hugely bloated and I had a hard time sitting, bending over and breathing.

All better now!

Danijela,

Are you gluten-free yet? You didn't say one way or another. Have you been diagnosed as a Celiac? I certainly would think if you have not been having BM's any more often than that once a week you could be experiencing enough pressure against your diaphragm to cause you difficulty in breathing.

The other question is, why are you not pooping? You need to get that answered. I don't think celiac disease alone would cause that much of a problem. You need to make sure you don't have an illeus or even a tumor. I don't mean to scare you but it is a known fact that Celiacs are at additional risk for cancer of the small bowel than the normal population because of the inflamation caused by celiac disease.

Right before I went gluten free, I used to get attacks of GERD that would make me unable to breath. Felt like someone had stuck something in my windpipe. My doc thought it was a hiatal hernia, turns out it was a gluten reaction. I also had the "eat two bites of something and feel full" thing to go along with it, and horrible constipation. Went away after a week gluten free. Are you eating gluten?

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
