I use to have a pretty good hour glass figure...now I look about 7 months pregnant and it never goes down so it is like your normal bloating! Anyone else experience this due to fibro?
It may be food sensitivities , try eliminating wheat, glutten and dairy from your diet. It helped get rid of my bloated belly, If I have a small amout of wheat, my stomach blows up in about 20 minutes.
Once my stomach relaxes it goes down. I don't know of any other, more holistic method. I do know once the Xanax works I am a happier person!
I spent four years with this stomach ache. Sometimes I had to walk hunched over- It's horrible. I also take Miralx each morning, I add it to my coffee...might not help tummy, but it keeps me from being horribly, painfully constipated.
It's a Fibro belly - a symptom of Fibro. But what I learned from the Gastro who gave me a colonoscopy because I had so much tummy trouble - and found there was noting wrong- told me it was ok to take half of a .25 mg Xanax to calm my tummy. And it works. I even got a "note" to keep in my records to prove to other dr.'s that I had permission to take it. Everyone worries about Fibro's getting hooked on meds. But I also learned that Xanax metabolizes very quickly and it would take a lot to get me hooked!!! I also have used a heating pad and sometimes laying on my side helps...and sometimes a Diet Mt. Dew helps... I think it's the bubbles. I don't get stomach aches from meds unless I take them on an empty stomach!!
I went on the "Wheat Belly" Diet, lost 50 lbs and most of my bloated belly. It has helped me in many ways with my fibro...I love it, I now it healthy and feel better...still dealing with fibro pain but it is much improved!
Oh yes!! I call it my "Basketball Belly"
