What Causes Nausea , Constipation And Abdominal Pain?
Hello, I have had severe symptoms since september. I have uncontrollable flatulence, i feel nausious, bloated and i have abdomin pain. I have severe constipation but the most disturbing thing is the flatulence. I have also noticed that my legs turn blue when i shower. I also have pain in my knees, wrists, ankles and elbows. I have been tested and do not have celiac disease, lactose intolerance, artheritis nor parasites. I had the same diet in september as i had had years before. I did not have and I do not have stress or anxiety. I have tried all kinds of diets - dairy free, gluten free, sugar free, starch free etc. I am sure it is not stress or dietary related. What could be causing my various problems? Could it be my thyroid? Thank you.

Hello
I appreciate your concern
This could be due to Aerophagia (swallowing of air) or indigestion leading to excess gas formation
Aerophagia can be related to smoking, alcohol consumption, ill fitting denture and carbonated drinks or use of more protein like pulses egg and meat
In my opinion you should rule out these conditions first, if it persists then you should consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and enzymes supplements therapy if need be.
Avoid fatty fried spicy junk food or carbonated drinks
Have plenty of fluids orally including fruit juices
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Hope this helps you
follow up questions are most welcome
regards
