bloated!

Well I know this has been discussed before but the threads have been lost in the great gap on the forum. Basically I am blowing up like a balloon! Its ridiculous I feel like I've been pumped up and my stomach is quite painful from the stretching..... Also have chronic wind and burbs! Have had to stay in this evening to present embarassment all round....

I know that bloating is quite common, so does anyone have a way of reducing balloon like qualities before I float away???
Cheers

Hi Ros, not sure what medication you are on, but my son gets terrible wind when he is put on Azithromycin. Maybe other medication can cause the same effect. I have also heard that stress can cause this. from sunseasand.

Do you think it might be diet related, as when I eat white bread, pasta, rice or potatoes my stomach balloon up. It may be worth keeping a food diary to see what you have eaten when it happens??

thats a good idea, I don't think I've eated more of something than i usually do, but I will keep an eye out. I think it mught be the flucloxicillin, as I am taking more than I ususally do cos of nasty cold.....
