Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I have several fibroids, and a prolasped uterus. I have been told that itis a matter of time before I will have to have a hysterectomy. My doctor said that as long as my uterus is not getting any bigger we can watch , wait and see. But my stomache is so bloated, and I mean all the time, he said to get some fiber con, does any one see the benefit if this? I am regular in my bowels. I wonder if some of the belly I see is the prolaspe, I worked hard to lose 20 pounds, I am only a size 4, from the back I look good, buy my front is awful. I wear baggy shirts to hide it. Please, if any one knows how I can control this I would really apprecialt it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I've gotten the same advice. I am in the midst of struggling to figure out what to do. I do not want an operation which may affect me for the rest of my life. However, I don't want what I have for the rest of my life either! Please everyone who has answered any of my posts - Please keep doing so and thank you all so very very much. You have all been there so you know how important it is to me (us). As for your question, I've been using Absorb-Aid at every meal for the past week and a half. It was advised to me to do this a week and a half ago by a nutritionist. They are plant derived digestive enzmyes. I eat a little less at each meal, but then I eat a little more often. I was never good at losing any weight. However I am at normal weight for my size. This has helped on most of these days. of that I am sure. Also, I do yoga and some exercise every other day. This is helping to control the bloat while I figure out what to do. I am a vegan also so I don't eat dairy products, but you must be really small if you are a size 4. Don't blow your abdomen out of proportion. Most women have tummies just naturally. This is not to minimize how you feel. I am feeling the same way this very minute. How to take control of my life and get these things from growing. The future is still cloudy though. does anyone know how to get rid of that awful bloated stomache/ | I have several fibroids, and a prolasped uterus.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I would also try removing the dairy. I've not cut it out completely, but changed from cow's milk to rice milk in my morning cereal and it helped me. It did get rid of some of the bloating, but most of it is related to the fibroids. It did help with the " full " bloating feeling I was having, which was probably gas from the milk. I found I can still have other dairy (cheese, ice cream) and it does not cause the problems milk did. Please note, that I had never had this problem with dairy prior to having fibroids. I also found that (pre UAE) the more sit ups I did, the worse bowel problems I had. About two months pre UAE, I got that nasty flu that went around this year. I was unable to exercise for at least two weeks. I noticed less bowel problems. As an experiment, I tried just cutting out the situps after I was feeling better and the bowel problems decreased a lot. I am a size 6 and have had to get bigger pants to accomodate the belly. I can tell you that when I saw my MRI I was shocked that there was any room in my abdomen at all for my intestines. Good luck, hope some of this works for you.

It was so bad around my period that I had to go out and get larger pants just for that time but I don't have that problem anymore. Interesting that you're a vegan because I both dropped out dairy from my diet and started taking herbs that tonify the uterus AND a good, gentle herbal for the bowel. I wasn't sure what made the change, maybe it was all three but now I'm suspecting its the herbs that concentrated on the bowel. I also began eating LOTS of fruit and raw vegetables. I haven't had this problem for a year. My only problem is what to do with those baggy pants! LOL. Try concentrating on the bowel but don't use any strong laxatives. Get a formula that you can use over time that is very gentle. I used FenLB from www.herbsfirst.com. Good luck!
