Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
The extreme
bloating in diaphragm & abdomen you are suffering from could be due to-
-Digestive deficiency/
indigestion with gas & flatulence/ Due to
constipation ( which is one of the side effects of Carbidopa & levodopa you are taking.
- Hitaus hernia /
H pylori infection are other possible causes,
- Various bowel infections- Bacterial or amoebic / infestations- worms / food allergies ( gluten or
lactose intolerance)/
Irritable bowel syndrome are various causes.
* As you don't mention about any of these symptoms, I feel the side effect of the medicines you take daily .. causing constipation/ loose motions & digestive problem follows to cause bloating is the cause in your case
Consultation of treating doctor to adjust the dosage/ change the medication is the way out.
Similarly self care in form of dietary adjustments ( lot of fibers & water in case of constipation) & lot of water with light nutrients ( to avoid
dehydration ) & pill like Lomotil in consultation with your treating doctor would help.
* Similarly a consultation of a Gastroenterologist for assessing digestive health/ exclude/ find over mentioned causes of bloating followed by specific treatment is advisable.
Thanks
