Question: Hi there. My problem is that almost every thing i eat, i get bloated. This problem started about 6 years ago when suddenly i saw under my belly is getting bigger and it looked very awkward because i was very thin. At that time i was also having problem with waking up in the middle of the night with feeling of starvation and craving fot salty food such as cheese and salami and such. I went to see a local doctor and he sent me for a check up to see if there is something wrong with my sugar and thyroid. Everything was normal. Since then my intestines got more and more sensitive towards food. In the past 2 years isaw 2 gastros. They basically dont care at all. The second one told me that its IBS and that he has seen people in worse situations. He asked me not to do colonoscopy and he also didnt send me for H Pilory breathing test he told me to first start with Bio K to see if i get better. Well i didnt, not even a little. About 2 months ago i talked to an online doctor and i told him that i bloat whenever i eat. He told me to take Domperidons and Nexium for a while. After taking these 2 for about 2 weeks my syndromes started going away. There was about 60% of improvement which means that i could eat anything and i wouldnt bloat as much at all. It looked like i had lost a few pounds too. It was like heaven to be able to eat anything you want. But then there were some side affects especially from nexium. They made me feel too lose in my muscles, my balance, i couldn't think clear and my speech and spelling were getting sloppy. So i stopped nexium but i continued Domperidons. It seems they are not functioning perfectly on their own and Nexium is stronger. So without them i am getting back to the bloating problem what should i do to figure out this issue? I might have some adrenal hormon problems according to another online doctor. He was suspicious of Addison's disease but the ACTH (measured at 5 pm) was 2.7 and random cortisol at 5 pm was 309. The reason the online doctors are suspicious about adrenal hormon problem is that my syndroms, since i was a baby were salt craving, very low blood pressure and severe constipation and weak muscles and body. I am still waiting to see a local Endo to do all these hormonal tests. Thank you for reading this.

Thank you for your response.

How long can I take domperidon? Because when I take them, I feel good, but when I stop them, I bloat again!! Nexium is very good too, but how much am I allowed to take these medications? Are there side effects?

Thank you!

Thank you.
Well, the steps you mentioned don't really apply to my case. I am not obese, I don't smoke and drink, I don't eat heavy food, I don't eat spicy food, etc... Also, I don't want to be rude, but somehow I don't even accept IBS as an answer, but thanks for all the suggestions ..
