Hard stomach after eating

KattforLife · 02-09-2004, 05:16 AM

after I eat, no matter how small, my stomach gets very hard, I already have a big gut and it makes me look like Im 9 months pg... I also have a hard time breathing after I eat because my stomach is so hard. What is this? I was thinking endometrius... anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
katt.

I haven't been to the doctor yet, but I am having this problem too. Sometimes after I eat, my epigastrum (the middle of my belly, just under the ribs) hurts too. I am also having problems with abnormally heavy and prolonged bleeding. Anyone else have anything like this?

I have this problem too! I get pain in the same area chupchup, it feels like i have a basketball in my belly sometimes, I also get abnormal looooooooooong bleeds

Sometimes I get a very acidic feeling in my throat and feel nautious as well.

I have spoken to my GP about it and he seems to think it's two things causing it - Irritable Bowel and Reflux. I've been seeing a naturopath for the last six weeks and she has given me herbs that help with it and acupuncture as well. I really notice the difference, and the swelling is a lot less.

The abnormal bleeding in my case lasted two years before I could get a Dr to do anything about it. I had a hysteroscopy and they found that I had a fibroid and polyps and that they were the cause of the bleeding.

If it continues pleaaaase see your Gyno and get them to check it out, it's probably just PCOS but it can't hurt to make sure

Good luck

I would like to suggest a colon cleanse.

It has helped me greatly with acid reflux, irritable bowel etc.

I do one every six months and notice quite a difference in how my system works. I poop like a baby. I eat, I poop. I eat, I poop. Sorry to be gross but it keeps things moving along.

Just a thought...
