The Bloat Has Got To Go!

diagnosed a month ago...went gluten free for 3 weeks and then decided to go casein and soy free as well. I'm a marathoner, so I started taking glutamine after my workouts b/c read that exercise could be lowering that amino acid and messing with my digestive system. I also started taking a digestive enzyme and acidol,,,s bacteria stuff. It is like clock work...around 4pm my stomach starts churning and gas bubbles start spawning whether I've eaten anything recently or not...and it lasts all night. My stomach looks distended and lately it's even still there in the morning when i wake up. I have noticed after doing all of this that my stools are much harder, but that's the only difference. Still have the horrible bloat. Do you guys think that i could have further food intolerances or does the leaky gut thing cause gas until it's healed??? And why does it start up at the same time everyday??? I have a rock hard flat stomach that I work so hard on and b/c of the bloat I never get to enjoy it.

A few of us have had some success with Neem for bloating:

Thanks, I"m going to give it a try. Is it okay to take with digestive enzymes and glutamine? Also, I'm running a marathon in 2 weeks. Should I wait to start this afterwords, since it could be doing damage control for a little while??? Not sure what would be worse, that or the bloat :)

Anytime you add a new supplement to your routine, the outcome can be unpredictable, so YES wait until after your marathon. Take them when you do not have to be somewhere important. A nice relaxing weekend. For me, the bloat got a little worse for about 2 -3 days and more D. But then it started getting better and eventually went away. Now I only bloat if I eat a lot of cabbage or something else gassy.

      Inhaler problem

      By Iris Kraft · Posted

      I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

      Inhaler problem

      By Ann13 · Posted

      I have the exact same symptoms for a couple of wks now but I've been taking Symbicort for quite awhile at this point. I read you can get yeast infection in the vocal cords so I may ask my Dr. for antifungal meds cos I cant wait for an ENT exam. Also read on this site the connection between Vit D and K2 deficiency and asthma...doesn't apply to me cos mine is from mold in a house years ago but still might try and see if my asthma improves. I am Celiac and gluten causes the same symptoms but it says this inhaler is gluten free and it only started acting up so that option is out. I use Ventolin on occasion but using that for many many years. For me I will see if can switch inhalers to a brand that doesn't affect vocal cords as much, Advair is NOT one of them, plus will try the supplements. Do not suck on menthol lozenges cos menthol dries out cords more...sleeping elevated and sucking on ice chips gets the swelling down...at night this can really help especially. I can't continue like this so will get on everything this coming week.

      Did a little more research just now and found out that even though the max methane should not exceed 10. It is normal to be around 3 and not rise. Again, I was at 13 so this does make me a bit suspicious. This was done back in May of 2024. I do recall being put on 14 day Antibiotic called Rifaximin but I'm really not sure if it made a difference, but if it did, then the problems still came back:(

      I did a SIBO Test about a year ago, and I barely elevated on the Methane portion (max was 10 and I hit 13). Dr wasn't too concerned.

      Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)?  Also, MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance (they go together like a hand and glove).  Both of the above are common in the celiac community.
