Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Rashes On The Elbow

I am having bloating and feeling of severe fullness after eating. I am gluten free, for about 3 years now because of a very bad feminine odor and a rash on my elbow when I was eating gluten. I just changed my anti- depressant from celexa to cymbalta ,because the celexa wasn t working all of a sudden, about 6 weeks ago. It doesn t matter what I eat or when. Food looks and tastes good, but I feel awful when I finish.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Bloating can be due to different possible causes and foods. If you are using a gluten free diet then you would have eliminated many foods that could be linked to bloating.

There are a few gluten free foods that can cause a problem such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, beans,. These are well known to cause bloating.

Other causes would be : (1) reflux
(2) constipation
(3) intolerance to particular foods (a food diary would help here)
(4) lactose intolerance

After eliminating any associated foods, you may need to consider treatment for reflux to see if this helps since reflux is a common cause.
There are different medications that can be used for reflux such a prilosec, prevacid, nexium, protonix

Life style changes would also be needed such as reducing spicy, fatty, acidic foods.

I hope this helps
