Suffering from flatulence and stomach distension for last 10 years

[Daanvir]

I am a Male, at 30. for the last 10 years i have been suffering from flatulence and  stomach distension, i am healthy and do not have any stomach pain. no loss of diet or weight.

I have taken a hell lot of medicines without any help except Bifilac HP, which partially relieves the symptoms, till the time it is taken.  no other probiotic or any medicine helps.

Blood test, endoscopy, colonscopy, stool test are normal.

The gas has caused me to limit my social life and not to mention of the other embarrassments.


Please help, Doctors are clueless.

Try fodmap. I was the same. Got really bad and ended up in hospital. Nothing could be found.Untill the ddietician suggest  fodmap. It's all to do with food fermenting in the gut. It's caused by some of the food your eating. It really made a difference to my life. Google fodmap and try eliminating the known offenders. They are foods you wouldnt think.
Good luck. Xx

I've been told that bacteria overgrowth can cause this. There's a way to test for this condition.

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this and it is good that the initial tests done were normal. You may need to change your diet, avoid excessive swallowed air, and to seek another doctor's opinion and evaluation if currents doctors are clueless. Take care and do keep us posted.
