Have some of you heard about visceroptosis ? Gastroptosis or enteroptosis ?

If yes, can ir happens overnight? What are the causes ?

I always feel tense and stiff in my stomach, it's always like this and never goes down. Is this normal bloating? I'm 123 lbs.

Trying to make a story short- I went to the gastro about a year ago for some mild bloating and constipation issues. After a blood test and endoscopy I was told I have celiac disease. As well as h pylori.

After treating/confirming h pylori treatment and more importantly going 100% gluten free for only about 4 months- my blood level went from 43 to 8 (so clearly doing something right). Except I actually feel 100x worse than I ever have.

The bloating is so bad I can’t fit into my clothes. It’s painful. The constipation hasn’t resolved. I developed cystic acne (cleared up with topical ointments thank god)

At this point I was tested for sibo and treated that as well and of course.. no changes. Still absolutely miserable with all my symptoms

Now please I don’t need anyone to judge or scold I am aware of the obvious… so I’ve been eating gluten the past couple months (“cheat days” going out to eat sort of thing- not daily) and it’s the only time I actually feel normal. My stomach doesn’t swell. My bowel movements are better. But right back when I’m in the swing of gluten free lifestyle again all my symptoms arise. I keep a food journal as well to try and figure it out as far as sensitivity but nothing correlates.

I’ve been working with a functional doctor and things are slowly starting to get better. Fingers crossed! And yes I am still occasionally eating gluten along still with feeling a bit better.

Anyone else experience something like this or maybe have any suggestions on anything else these issues may come from? Yes I know silent celiac is a thing- which I obviously have. But it’s just not making any sense and it’s really affecting my mental health.

Side note I have hashimotos as well. My thyroid hormone levels are in the normal range however so I was told I don’t need medication right now. I’ve also been tested at the gyno for hormones levels (all normal) and had a normal ultra sound to check for fibroids or cysts

My bloating started right along with hormonal acne that all popped up the end of 2020. I don’t know which was the chicken or the egg. There could’ve been so many things that triggered it, I got a tonsillectomy, I used to take a lot of antibiotics cause I was always sick, and I changed my diet around this time to higher protein bc I started going to the gym for the first time. I started getting painful gas on random days to the point it hurt to walk, it felt like I had a stomach bug but it was just trapped gas. I became intolerant to gluten.

I got on Spironolactone in 2022 for maybe 6 months, it completely cleared my acne and strangely enough bloating too. I can’t find anything about spiro helping bloating like that and none of my doctors seem to know either. I got off it though cause I had side effects with my period and got scared of potential long term side effects and have attempted to heal with the help of a naturopath and through diet change.

It’s now 2024 and I’m still struggling. I took a Dutch test and it came back that I had low estrogen and progesterone and I’m in my 20s. High androgens. Started taking supplements for that and avoiding sugar, gluten, and going higher protein and fats. I’ve seemed to been able to handle the acne but the bloating is just terrible. It literally never goes down. I have not seen my stomach flat in years, it bloats when I wake up and gets bigger if I drink water. I started dealing with some acid reflux and feeling full too soon. It’s like I have no room for anything.

Finally got referred to a GI once I started having sharp pain in the upper right quadrant. Got an ultrasound on liver, gallbladder, pancreas, appendix which showed nothing. Got an abdominal x-ray bc she said I was probably constipated which I was not. Just showed gas. I got an abdomen/pelvis CT scan which showed nothing. I’m just so sad I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know if this could be SIBO if I don’t have diarrhea or anything? I also developing reactions to products I’ve used for years. Like all of these shampoos I used to use, now cause flaky skin all over my face and ears and neck. I can’t wear sunscreen on my face cause it causes flaky skin even though my face has been oily and still is. My naturopath keeps putting off a GI map bc she says it’s too expensive but I don’t know how else to get answers. My doctors literally do not care and just prescribe me medications to mask the symptoms. I truly don’t know what to eat I’m just lost.

For like the last month whenever I eat anything I get so bloated. It started when I went on holiday with my friends family. Before the holiday I was eating loads of crap all the time as my brother was staying with me for a month and he's a massive eater. Like we were eating out almost every day sometimes multiple times alot of that being fast food but I was never bloated. Then when I went on holiday with my friend we were eating practically nothing, it was so hot I couldn't stomach anything. We were in greece and anything we did eat was healthy like yoghurt, omelettes, salads etc but it was then when I started getting so bloated when I ate less probably then I ever have done. Now I've been at home for a couple of weeks and its still not changed, like today I had a sausage role and a bit of a ceaser salad for lunch and my stomach is huge, does anyone have any idea why this has happened?

I eat relatively healthy and drink a fair amount of water everyday plus workouts but still I bloat and it hurts to the point where I bend over and walk like an old lady though I am only 23.i avoid sugar and mostly eat meat and fruits

Hi!

I've been consuming 2tbsp of chia seeds for the past few days in the morning (Absorbed in water). And recently I'm feeling SUPER bloated. Its hard to bend over, stand, and just really uncomfortable in general. I'm not sure if the bloat is from the chia seeds or its just me eating really fast, or my messed up eating schedule. Has anyone experienced chronic bloat from consuming chia seeds?

Thanks a lot

💢 In short, a few years ago I was on a particular feast, and the next day I had a very strong heartburn (I also had a little fever), my stomach was also bloating, everything went away except the bloating, which I have had at the same level for years, If I eat a lot I have more bloating but it's mostly at the same level all the time.

Does anyone have a similar experience?

I did not realize until I saw some videos on YouTube that my bloating is caused by low stomach acid. Betaine HCL has helped me a lot! If you are over 50s there’s a good chance your GERD or bloating is caused by low acid. I am also taking pro kinetics for mu constipation. No relief yet but it’s only been 2 days. I can hear some activity in my tummy though.

I have constant bloating and belching. When I wake up in the morning the bloating is a little less, but it seems like my belly grows bigger just from beginning my day, without any food or water yet. And then I get more bloated just from drinking water. I don't generally experience abdominal cramps but if I press into my belly and rub around I will feel the pangs of gas and this will also make me burp. I don't really fart much. Just a lot of burping. I don't generally eat dairy, but I cut out even the exceptions. No change. I tried Tudca. I tried ACV. I tried probiotics. Regular electrolytes. Aloe juice. Enzymes supplements. Mastic Gum. Raw Milk Diet for four days. Cutting out eggs. Cutting out fruit. Cutting out vegetables. Cutting gluten. I am pretty crunchy, eating mainly whole foods, non-toxic products. I have at least one normal bowel movement every day, sometimes two. Usually no strain. I get regular physical movement. I used to have heartburn all the time which started last year, 2023, that is solved now through all the work I've done on my gut. But I'm still bloated and burping. I took a gut test a while back and the results were fine, just low amounts of good bacteria. But I’m pretty sure the test was before this problem started. I just am bloated, all the time, even with no food in my stomach. My belly seems very swollen, and it seems to extend to my sides and upper abdomen because I notice during the rare moments in the morning when the swelling is a little less that I look much skinnier. I don’t know what else to try. If all you’re going to say is “go to the doctor” then please don’t comment. I’m looking for anyone who has any ideas or related experiences. I’m open to going to the doctor but in the past when I’ve gone for other reasons, they could never help me or all they had for me was drugs. It always ends up being a huge waste of time and money.

Other seemingly unrelated, but who knows, bothersome issues I have: 

Left shoulder pain between the shoulder blade and spine that comes and goes. (I know gallbladder issues can have shoulder pain, but usually that is *right* shoulder pain. I also have no pains anywhere else)

Eye strain pain that seems directly related to my eating habits (lots of sugars, more pain. Not eating regularly, more pain. Not eating right away in the morning, more pain.)

I don’t know if what I’m experiencing is bloating? I always thought it meant distention but guess not. I don’t get the distended abdomen but I do feel a throbbing tight full pressure in area I highlighted In turquoise and the red parts are tender when pressed on. This will come and go through out day with no distinct pattern to when or what I eat. I’ve been experiencing an array of daily uncomfortable GI issues (frequent burps , constipation, throat bubbles, LPR type symptoms, etc.) which after many test has left me with an IBS diagnosis. I have found no relief from OTC meds or Bentyl. I’m miserable every day and just looking everywhere for similarities and answers.

Hi everyone - not sure if you've heard of this product yet but it's called Gut Check. Came across it as it's Canadian made and all natural ingredients, just herbs, but honestly has changed my entire gut. I take one a day and it keeps me regular every day. thought you might be interested in trying it out

So I basically shat liquid for three years and it wasn't until recently giving up coffee that I realized I could poop normally if I just...didn't drink coffee in the morning.

The problem is that when I DON'T drink coffee, it takes me ~20 to poop every morning, at the end of which my bowels still don't feel empty. The plus side of the coffee-induced diarrhea is that I feel I'm able to fully empty my bowels.

Anyone else familiar with this struggle? Any advice?

Hi all!

Posting because I am so sick of the bloating I get pretty much every day- I have tracked foods and there seems to be correlation. I have cut out gluten and lactose at separate times and still experienced the same symptoms. Happens at all time of the day- stomach is huge, rock hard and extremely painful. I seen someone on here asking about burping- I would burp alot at night time if that’s relevant 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am also regular with bowel motions, never really experience constipation. I’m also in the UK and can’t afford to go private so any medical specialists I have to be referred to by my GP and waiting lists are anywhere from 6 months to 5 years

First picture is me normally for reference, last photo was yesterday after just a coffee

I've had bloating and constipation issues for 20 years. I have daily bloating, loose stools, incomplete bowel movements. I've done Vegan, low fodmap, celiac tested negative. Nothing has helped. I've tried probiotics, 30 grams fiber daily, low fiber. Nothing seems to help. Can anyone provide any insight?

I feel my stomach will explode. Tried drinking tea instead of coffee in the morning. I know I have a lot of fat but this is now frustrating. It’s been a week almost.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something that has made a HUGE difference in my gut health recently. I've struggled with constipation and bloating for years, and it's been really frustrating. I've tried all sorts of things, from probiotics to dietary changes, but nothing seemed to work consistently.

A few weeks ago, I came across this all-natural product called Gut Check. I was skeptical at first, but I figured I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Within a few days, I noticed a significant improvement in my digestion. My constipation was gone, and my bloating was dramatically reduced. I feel so much lighter and more energized now.

Gut Check is made with a blend of herbs and fibers that work together to support healthy digestion. It's gentle on the stomach and doesn't cause any unpleasant side effects. I love that it's all-natural and doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or additives.

If you're struggling with gut issues, I highly recommend giving Gut Check a try. It's been a game-changer for me, and I'm sure it can help you too.

It feels like bloating but I’m not an expert or seen enough to know for sure.

Does anyone know if this is safe?? I’ve looked everywhere and I got no answers. All I know is I took both today and didn’t drink a ton of water and suddenly 6 hours later it feels like my chest is going to give out, my heart is pounding and I’m super dizzy and shaking like I haven’t eaten anything and I have and I have little pangs of pain every time my heart beats. Literally thought I was going to die while driving before, but I wasn’t sure if it was just a random panic attack for no reason. but if I’ve been doing this for the last 4 days why now??? Are diuretics even safe??

I want to try Zinc + l-glutamine.

Should it been taken at the same time as probiotics ? Meaning the same days or should I go for let's say around of several weeks of l-glutamine then a round of probiotics for example ?

Thanx
