Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 Hello Everyone, I am hyper and I always feel like I'm always bloating...in my stomach area...I didn't know why. After listening to this group... it is interesting to hear that thyroid can affect our bodies and cause us to bloat like that. Maybe this is the reason why we all have weight problems??? Who knows??? How do we find out if we have too much water in us??? How do we take care of the problem???

Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 Hi , I, for one, used B-6 for bloating and it did nothing for my bloating. I am hypo. I also used corn silk, nettles, and every thing I could find including over the counter diuretics, but they did NOTHING.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 I was wondering about the bloating and then later read your post about how wiped out of energy you are when you get your period. I was the same way, have you heard of using natural progesterone cream? It is used in women who have estrogen dominance symptoms? My doctor put me on that then added a prescription natural progesterone tablet and this extreme fatigue has been eliminated!! Blood flow is lighter too, I don't swell up with water all over anymore.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Hi, Bloating is the only symptom I had when I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity. It's a fairly common condition in people with autoimmune thyroid disease. A test for IgG gliadin antibodies will confirm it. I found it's easier to avoid gluten now that I know for sure that it's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 , sounds like you're in reaction city! If you can get your hands on some aloe vera juice, I find that this helps to ease any bloating. I would avoid those foods, as bread and vinegar are no-no's on the candida diet - the bloating is your body's way of telling you this.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 When you have candidiasis you should avoid vinegar and bread (bread breaks down into sugars). The diet is hard, but well worth how much better you feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 See, that's part of my confusion - I've not been diagnosed with Candidiasis - I only suspect it - about 3 weeks ago I went to my primary care doctor because I was having chest pains - he did an ekg and a chest x ray and my heart is looking good, so he diagnosed me with dyspepsia, gave me some Aciphex and told me to come back if it didn't get better. He also drew blood because my other blood test had shown a slightly elevated calcium - well this blood test showed my calcium levels to be okay, but my thyroid levels were off . . (sigh) . . so now I have a referral to an endocrinologist this Friday. After having all this happen, I went to the bookstore and found the book No More Heartburn by Sherry and starting reading in it, and found the symptoms of Candida overgrowth and they match a lot of what I'm going thru. I called my doc yesterday and asked him to give me a call back - haven't heard from him yet - I'm going to ask him to just write me a prescription for one of those stool tests that Dr recommended in her book. I am totally open to any suggestions or help here - I feel SO frustrated and angry at what's happening. Thanks - Re: Bloating When you have candidiasis you should avoid vinegar and bread (bread breaks down into sugars). The diet is hard, but well worth how much better you feel.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Just wanted to add another perspective to what others have mentioned about bloating. This is one of my problems too. Some of it is due to my impaired gastric motility (I have Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction), so I can't ever eliminate it entirely. Food just sits for a long time in my stomach and duodenum after every meal. But I've learned that diet and getting my gut ecology balanced again (mainly getting the candida under control) has helped tremendously in reducing the bloating. It did take a lot of time, though, to get the bloating down to it's now-normal minimal level. It took me about 16 months I think before I could start wearing pants that weren't one or two sizes too big (needed that looser waistband). I've always been ready to experiment and test different foods to figure out what would work best for me. I learned to stay away from high-carb veggies (and no grains or starches either). Once you develop gastric disorders you have to make changes or really suffer. Having a candida overgrowth is just the same, in my experience. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi Elyse, Sorry to hear of your woes, very uncomfotable to say the least.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Wow, Elyse, you are taking an awful lot of antifungals...clove tea, clove oil, oral peroxide in addition to your coconut oil. No wonder you are so uncomfortable. If I were you I would take only the coconut oil with meals, chlorophyll, vitamin and mineral supplements as recommended and drink the ginger tea when you feel gaseous. Of course you can still use the other fats...animal fats, butter and olive oil with meals as well. Just no other antifungals for now. As Bee always says " More is NOT better. " You can't rush healing. Ellen [ ] bloating > Hello people, > I can't believe how much difficulty I'm having with bloating and > constipation.

Hope something works soon for you, it sure can make you miserable. love Kat > I saw a post that someone tried chlorella and it helped, but I think a lot of us don't tolerate it.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Ellen, I wasn't taking all those antifungals all at once. I was ONLY taking coconut oil, I started trying the other things as a result of my problem, I posted those to say what I've tried in order to solve the bloating. Anyway, yesterday I decided to take a break from the coconut oil all together. After I started CO I increased it by only one teaspoon at a time, but maybe that was still just too much. I can tell that the coconut oil made me really tired, so it could it's more than I can handle right now.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 OH, okay, I thought you were taking all of them. However, it still sounds like you are getting massive die-off symptoms. Especially if the coconut oil is making you tired. CO should give you extra energy but die-off makes you feel weak and tired. I know for me, weak, tired and bloating always means die-off, followed by a bout of severe itching. My personal solutions: drink a cup or two of ginger tea and/or the liver flush cocktail (recipe in the files), take a nap, and liberally apply CO and baking soda topically. Not sure what you can do for constipation as I have not had that problem...though I would think some extra magnesium might help. Prayers for a quick solution.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Kat, Magnesium helps, but unfortunately then it causes the runs, it's one extreme or the other.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 You need to make sure that your bowels keep moving. My husband had suffered a lot before someone suggested we try high doses of magnesium. We started with one tablet a day, but pushed it up to 3 a day and it seems to really help him a lot. We are also doing colon cleansing with magnesium peroxide, which also seems to be doing something. I hope that helps. Keen Bloating I'm having never ending problems with bloating. I've tried so many things including different kinds of enzymes and a lot of them. Nothing I've done so far seems to help. The left side of my intestines swell, it's painful and it feels like things are stuck there and not moving. (I also have problems with constipation which is related,).

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hello Keen, Yes, Im working on this, but it's a struggle. I'm interested in finding out more about the magnesium peroxide.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 The bloating you describe is quite serious I believe and I think that you need to go to a hospital at once.
