I have had a bloated belly for 2-3 weeks now. A lot of gas is coming out lol. But I have no idea as to why. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had a similar problem.
I feel no pain, discomfort etc. Maybe going to the toilet a bit more regularly though.
Its really annoying coz I look fat all the time now...
My GP just give me colofac which hasn't helped much yet.

sorry i realise this isn't a medical diagnosis forum but just wondering if anyone had something similar before?

1. You are fat.
2. You have kidney problems.
3. Aids

Either way, rip in peace.

You are probably intolerant to something you're eating. Go and see your GP.

Go to the doctor, it could even be something like water retention.

Have you had a large dose of antibiotics recently as that can cause an imbalance in the types of bacteria that ordinarily live in your stomach/intestines leading to severe bloating and other stomach problems.

Get to your GP as it could be something nasty.

It probably isn't anything like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_dif but it could be a similar issue

I've only heard of this on a few occasions from speaking to a few doctors that I know, but it's always led to the same diagnosis. It's not the most pleasant news but it's far more common than you'd think - so before I explain, please don't worry. Quick question: Do you sleep near cupboards or windows? Recently lifted floorboards or replaced carpets? You should see your doctor but I'm fairly sure he'll tell you the same thing... there's a fairly high chance that you've got a spider in your colon. It sounds ridiculous but it's true. During the summer months they look for dark places to cool off and that often leads them into bedrooms and beds, so when you go to sleep at night you don't notice them. They're disturbed and make a run for it: straight up your shorts and right in your bumhole.
They lay eggs and that can lead to bloating as your stomach sees it as an infection. Thankfully, after generations of arachnids in the brown, the human body deals with it without much fuss and you'll (hopefully) pass between 15 and 35 spiders in your stool over the next month.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the further replies.
Went to the doctor again and since Colofac wasn't working she decided on a blood test for a "Coeliac screen".
Now just got to get time to go to the clinic and get my blood taken.

Isn't a coeliac screen for people who are allergic to milk etc? I never have a problem with milk, diary etc.

Also told her I am passing a lot of wind and she give me a drug (Omeprazole) for that too as the ones off the shelves such as "Windeze" (simeticone") are not working for me at all.

Just can't wait to get rid of this bloated abdominal. Can't even see my abs that I have been training hard for haha

thanks! Yeah I asked her if it could be a bacterial infection several times but she said no and decided against testing for that in my blood test.
And no I haven't had any antibiotics lately. I even drink Yakult and recently started another probiotic drink.

Coeliacs are allergic to wheat/gluten.
