Bloated And In Pain

I have tried searching and sorry but I just can't find the posts that talk about what will help the bloating. I am not sure what casued it, since I have had a touch of the stomach flu but that was getting better but after taking my night times meds my stomach just went haywire last night. I feel like I am pregs and so much pain. The bloating is up high above the belly button.

Here is what I have already tired:

Slippery elm tea

Peppermint tea

Probotics

Aleo Vera Gel

I am not able to get to the store and my husband is working two jobs so he not able to get there either. If there is anything anybody can think of that I might have on hand that would be awesome. A straight pin to pop my stomach has crossed my mind :lol:

Good deal with what you have tried so far!

Next I would take some baking soda in water. If that isn't enough, an hour later try taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water. You can repeat this regime as long as needed. Don't take both vinegar and baking soda at once since otherwise you will fizz!

Do you have any idea why you are feeling this way? Did you eat something wierd? Too much quick carbs or sugar or what? Or do you think its residue of the stomach flue still? I suggest not eating any uncooked veggies or hot spices. I have reacted like that to onions on occasion...

Hi.

I'm so sorry you're hurting. When I get that way (soy for me) I do the baking soda trick (1 1/2 t. in a glass of water) that was mentioned. It doesn't cure, but it does definitely help.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yolo, I am trying to think back to what I ate yesterday but brain fog. The bloating did happent though until just before I went to bed right after I took my night time meds but I know that real doesn't mean too too much. I know we had pasta, peas and pork chops for dinner, but my stomach was feeling ok then.

I will go try the backing soda. I have a question about the apple cider vinger and it may be a dump one. I can't eat apples the make my stomach burn, is the vinger going to do the same?

Thank you for your help.

I don't know about the vinegar. I do know I can't eat apples but can have the vinegar. But my "allergy" or reaction is I think to the fructose since I seem to not handle eating any fruit except lemons and cranberries! However given your sensitivity to apples, maybe don't use the vinegar. Straight lemon juice in water on the other hand might function similarly...without bothering you.

Am wondering if the pork chops were too heavy for you to digest after having the stomach flu. Again the lemon juice would help your digestion. You might investigate using HCL tabs when you have a heavy meat meal... or just take the lemon juice in water...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have taken the vitamins for a week. Haven't noticed any major changes but I will give it more time to see.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.
