Stomach Bloating, Discomfort, Excessive Hunger, Gas Formation. Taking Probiotics. Causes For Symptoms?
My stomach is bloated and uncomfortable so often but im still hungry. My husband says if your stomach hurts, how can you eat? but it doesnt stop me from eating. I am gassy all the time. It is embarrasing. But most of all Im tired of my stomach being so fat and uncomfortable. My doctor says its IBS but has offered nothing that has helped with the problem. I take probiotics every day and still suffer. It is significantly around time for my period. i m so tired of suffering with this and my doctor and husband dismissing it like its not an issue.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this type of symptoms, these includes.
1 The first possibility is of peptic ulcer disease or Hyper acidity . Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy . As bloating , burping, gas formation, are characteristic feature of hyper acidity . When there develops hyper acidity, patient try to eat something to relieve acid in stomach . This is the main reason of excessive hunger. Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks. Avoid drinking or eating for 2 hours before you lie down. To help control stomach acid one should not drink drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolate or greasy or spicy food. Also take some antacid but if symptoms are severe then you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors as in in your case.
2 Tension is the 2nd most important reason of excessive appetite .Excessive eating also develops hyper acidity .
3 Diabetes may be the next reason , diagnosis can be confirmed by H B A 1 C and blood sugar examination.
In my opinion consult a doctor and deal accordingly .
Good luck. Dr. HET
