Uncomfortable bloating

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, morethan2. Peppermint or chamomile tea is meant to be soothing for gut problems? Hope you're feeling yourself soon.

Chicken and rice or anything bland.
My brother was told to drink flat cola. Not tried it myself.

Honey and ginger tea and relax.

Well usually apple sauce, dry toast, rice and plain chicken but if you have IBS apples are high FODMAP so perhaps not a good idea. I'd go for plain chicken and rice with no veg and plain and lots of water. Do hope you feel better soon. Don't mean to pry but is your DH ok? I remember you were a bit worried the other day. I hope things are ok.

It may not be your IBS, it could be an infection and eating could make it worse. If you're not hungry then just drinking lemonade for 24 hours may help it to go.

If it persists, perhaps a trip to the GP could be required?
I hope you feel better soon.

Cut out dairy for a little while. If no change see your GP, could be so many things.

Could be medication that you're perhaps taking ?
Strangely enough mint chewing gum can help the gut and bowels as it's encouraged after surgery of the bowels.
It's helped me if I've felt seedy rather than taking any " mixture ".
Also it doesn't harm not to eat until your insides are more settled.

If it doesn't sort itself out fairly quickly, I think you should go to the doctor.

Thankfully It’s a bit better this morning but it’s stopped me sleeping. I think I’ll take your advice and stick to plain chicken,rice soup for the next day or two. Thanks for asking Doodle my husband troubles at work seem to be sorted with a telling off, some humiliation and a day’s retraining.

I nibble digestive biscuits.

Me too Morethan ….identical symptons, had it 8 days but I don't have a history of IBS. I have been feeling really poorly, and actually was driven to go to docs today.

Having blood test for various things including for Ovarian cancer (there is a family history) and a ultra sound, wants to see if there are any gall stones. I was surprised they did all this, but best to hopefully rule things out.

Can I join the club morethan and seacliff ? I have identical symptoms . and not with envy .

Oh dear Gillybob, not a club anyone would want to join. The only benefit is my clothes are looser (apart from bloated tummy) as I've eaten very little in the last week.

No not really seacliff my tummy is bloated I feel as sick as a dog and have awful tummy cramps. I had to come out of work yesterday and couldn’t make it in today at all . Such a waste of time .

I had the same thing during last night.
But better today TG.
Eat bland food little but often.

I haven’t eaten a bite since Monday evening and I had to force that down, as I was sitting with the DGC . Had weak diluted juice today . That’s it .

I’ve also got a horrible taste in my mouth and have Cleaned my teeth a dozen times today already .

Considerations morethan; IBS is utterly miserable. When I've had a flare up, I've found that drinking peppermint tea really does help. Sometimes I add 2 tea bags to the brew, so that's it really quite strong. It's a good job I live alone because the amount of air it helps to dispel is staggering, but that's a good thing with IBS.

Hope you feel much better very soon.

Considerations or commiserations, you choose!

I'm sorry for all you sufferers.

Try flat lemonade.

I wasn’t expecting this
I eventually went to my wonderful g.p and here I am admitted to hospital. Ican hardly believed it. I just thought she’d give me some medicine. But she was insistent. I haven’t been near a hospital for over 20 years. I should have gone to g.p sooner it’s my own fault

Oh gosh Morethan that's worrying - at least the doctor has taken it seriously, it's probably just a precaution but they will presumably do tests and hopefully get to the bottom of it. Get well soon

Oh no! Just as well you went to the GP. Hope you feel much better soon. Sleep as well as you can.

Not where you wanted to be morethan but I’m relieved you are being cared for. Here’s hoping for a speedy resolution. and a gentle hug.
