Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Happened to come across this in my computer... can't tell you the source though.. Bloating - What Usually Causes It?Overeating Lactose intolerance and other food intolerances Air swallowing (a nervous habit) Irritable bowel syndrome Partial bowel obstruction Constipation Important but Uncommon Causes of Abdominal Bloating* Ascites (excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity, typically caused by liver disease)* Tumors in the abdominal cavity* Ovarian cancer Help for BloatingIf you feel confident that your abdominal bloating stems from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, information is key to managing this disorders - learn all you need to know about bloating and IBS, bloating is one of the most frustrating IBS symptoms, and unfortunately one of the most difficult ones to treat. There is good news, though. The herb fennel is extremely helpful for bloating, and it has no side effects. Fennel tea can work wonders to ease both bloating and gas. Just brew a tablespoon or so of fennel in a tea strainer and drink several cups a day. Fennel tastes like licorice and has anti-gas as well as anti-spasmodic properties, making it especially helpful for IBS. It's also a very safe herbal remedy that you can use daily without any risks. The other factor to consider in treating bloating with IBS is your choice of soluble fiber supplement. Soluble fiber is a miracle worker for many people in managing all IBS symptoms, whether cramping, diarrhea, and/or constipation. However, one of the most common soluble fiber supplements is psyllium (sold as Metamucil, Konsyl, Fibrogel, or as bulk husks), and psyllium can sometimes actually worsen (or even cause) bloating in many people. A much more helpful alternative is a fiber which does not contain psyllium and is actually a probiotic fiber, which means that it increases good gut flora, and thus actively helps reduce bloating and gas. Avoid chewing gum if you're prone to bloating - it can cause you to swallow a lot of air. Eliminate all carbonated beverages from your diet. Carbonation in general is a potential trigger for IBS attacks, and it's particularly likely to exacerbate bloating. Have a nice hot cup of fennel tea instead of soda pop or sparkling water, and practice the bloating-specific yoga poses, and you should notice a tremendous improvement. Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hello Sweetie ~ Bless your heart, I just knew it. I had a feeling you were hibernating, internalizing, and holding in your frustrations to yourself. This is why your gut hurts ! ! You MUST allow yourself to get angry ! ! I dont mean soft sweet, woman anger, I mean agressive, physical, vocal anger ! They hurt you, they sold you a defective product, one that would also be horribly toxic and make you terribly ill. What they have done is stolen precious life from you and your family. This is wrong, it is crimminal ! and painful as hell ! Go buy a punching bag, ( the kind you can kick too) and some gloves, have your husband hang it in the garage. Put on the gloves so as not to hurt yourself, and go out there and punch that bag. Imagine your PS face in the center of that bag, and say profanities and punch his lights out. You will feel so good when you are done, you will need to go eat a big plate of Mexican food. Lots of cheese. Jalapenos..... Please get your book out and keep it available to yourself and family. It is an important book for all people. My guess is even when you think you arent sweating the small stuff, you just think you arent ! ! But you ARE...... I have a friend that always thought she never stressed over anything, but she has had medical problems out the gazoo. Cancer and all. One day, I just knew she was stressing, and she swore she wasnt, and I told her to go look in the mirror. She stood there a long time and couldnt figure it out. Her ears were maroon ! ! So, she had stuffed her feelings of stress for so many years, she had numbed herself to how it feels. So, would you like some cheese with that wine? I would ! ! lololol......honey, we are here for you when you feel good or bad, when you are happy or sad, when you wanna wine or when you wanna share your happy. If you are gonna pull out your dede-ness, you have to learn how to use a punching bag..........and let her rip ! Give yourself permission to relieve yourself of your anger and pain and emotions, all of them. It is ok ! You will find that when you allow yourself to get out your anger, in a way such as a punching bag, it gets those endorphins out and you feel so much better. You may even end up laughing........then your frown will turn itself upside down........ I honestly feel you would do real well with a bag, it would be good for the whole family...... for exercise, and I also think you need a big plate of your favorite food.......no roughage or health food on this plate...... I think this would be good for you...... How much probiotics are you taking? Love you girl, hugs.....Dede See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Dede, Yeah, I've got gas but it's only in the morning and boy do I let 'er rip...after my husband gets in the shower, of course! I bloat after most meals but nothing will come out until the a.m. I feel like my candida is high up in the bowel because I notice it immediately after I eat. Basically my stomach hurts nonstop. My dad gave me " Don't Sweat the Small Stuff " in college. I should pull that out! I don't stress over anything now...except my health, and I know that probably just makes the symptoms worse. I'm just angry because I've been trying so darn hard to fight this, cure this, accept this, pray for this, etc. I'm tired of feeling blind in one eye, exhausted and unable to read or even think at times, especially for my kids. Lately, I've just wanted to stay in bed w/ my eyes closed. That's why I haven't posted. Today was the first time I've felt anger toward my implanting plastic surgeon. I was envisioning revenge, which I know is not healthy for me...or him!LOL Sorry to be a bummer, I need to practice some Dede-ness and turn my frown upside down and make the most of my situation. It'll happen, I just needed to vent...thanks for listening to my whining. Please whine to me anytime you feel like it! Any dinner plans w/ your Dad tonight?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi PH, You have every right to be angry about your situation. I'm still trying to recover and it's been 4 months now. What I do to cope, is I made a very conscious decision that I will be happy about the little things. It's really hard but after awhile it does get to be a habit. Of course I still have my bad days too, but those are few and far between. I still positivity as a weapon against all this implant stuff. I'm not going to let it beat me. Hang in there. It'll get better.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 PH . . . One of my sweet revenges is to tell the world about the criminals that make and place implants . . . One by one we're getting the truth out! . . . Figure out ways you can spread the word . . . Letters, calls, public speaking to schools, churches, etc. . . Think of yourself as a ripple . . . as you spread the word, it continues to out and out, until everyone knows the truth! . . . Including the doctors who have been deluded into thinking implants are safe! Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 PH . . . I don't know how your diet is going . .. but you might consider raw garlic. First reaction will probably be worse gas, but that should be temporary. One magazine article I read this week said they found they could reduce methane from cattle by 50% with the addition to their feed.
