Guest guest Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I notice the gas part if I eat any multigrain bread and also heart burn. I eat mostly gluten free bread and have lost weight with that. I don't bake a lot of the regular sweets anymore. Once in awhile for Dennis I will bake rhubarb squares but if he wants to eat the regular stuff then he has to buy it himself. The freezer is full of his baked things!! He needs to lose weight but is not willing to give up his sweet toothlinda Z Sent from my iPad Hi Gloria I have been having the same problem this year - stomach bloat. Uncomfortable and makes it hard to eat. Dont think its gas because Im not farting, but I have been eating breadstuffs again lately - sandwiches and cake. People can become GLUTON [refined grains] or LACTOSE [dairy] intolerant ---> this is pretty common. A lot of folks deal with these issues as they grow older, but they can happen at any age. My younger son has been lactose intolerant since birth, and it was impossible to even nurse him. People with liver issues can also have these problems because our liver is a MAJOR part of our digestive tract. There are also other causes - meds, etc. - click this link - 'causes of stomach bloating' - http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8 & fr=slv8-tyc8 & p=causes%20of%20stomach%20b\ loating & type= Check your diet and meds, and make healthier changes if you can. Talk with your doctor if you start to suffer - dont wait - it may be important. love don in ks > > I hope that those that have an opinion on this, will answer. Does it mean something when my stomach suddenly bloats up and is hard as a rock?? It comes with an icky feeling too. I'm hoping it's just a flu bug going around. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks Penny!! I have seen the Dr and the other day she said that maybe I should have Ultra Sound to double check. I told her to hang on that one, while I track whether it could be a food allergy. No such luck. So, I guess the beginning is now on for me. I've been blessed to have 9 months with no sign of my liver failing. In fact, it will be just 2 more weeks before I finish everything in my business and won't need my memory so much. By the way, it's that hardening that gets me. I'm sure that I didn't have that in the times before the last Hep C treatment. I mean my belly was huge; but, not hard. Now it's like you say - hard as a rock. ________________________________ It sounds like ascites to me...fluid in the belly.
