Bloated
 

I got up yesterday and had really bad pains in my tummy, these pains are like slight labour contractions, they come every 10/15 minutes (no i'm not pregnant) they have me doubled up in agony when they come

at the moment my tummy looks like i'm about 7 months pregnant, i'm so bloated and its really uncomfortable

yesterday i took anadin, paracetamol, ibuprofen and co-codamol and nothing eased it

can anyone please give me any tips on what i can take so that i wont be so bloated? i have a 21st to go to tomorrow night and i dont wanna go looking any fatter than i already am

welcome back :D

dunno what to suggest other than a nice warm bath and a hot water bottle

tmi really but have you been going to the loo as normal?

Re: Bloated
 

THIS might help :D

Re: Bloated
 

slice up some lemon... bung it in some hot water with a bit of sugar.....drink it warm you will be sat on the loo within an hour lol

or a whole carton of fresh orange....

Kenneth, where do you suggest i get some moose meat from? lol

Re: Bloated
 

have you got any of that peppermint tea left?

Re: Bloated
 

oh yeah, i forgot about that *shaz rushes to put the kettle on*

Re: Bloated
 

that or you get the oils out and have fossie rub your tummy clockwise (for digestion) might as well do you back and everywhere else while he is at it lol

Re: Bloated
 

lol, he aint here, he's gone home

If you still have your appendix it may be appendicitis.
I recall that pain when I was rushed into hosp for an emergency appendectomy.
The severity of the pain was the same as childbirth and came in spasms too

If it gets worse call 999 - a burst appendix is life threatening

Re: Bloated
 

Gayle, i dont know if it was period pains though, i have just missed my last period (i'm never regular) it was supposed to start 10 days ago but never did, i always get ovulating pains, but this time it just didnt come

Re: Bloated
 

That could just be the problem flashy, your taking in to much air:D

Re: Bloated
 

:eek:

Re: Bloated
 

Anadin, ibuprofen and co-codamol are likely to make it worse if it's your stomach. If you're bloated with air then there are charcoal tablets you can get from health stores like Holland and Barretts, which can help. But as ever, see a doctor. :p

Re: Bloated
 

I agree that anadin, and ibuprofen are bad for stomach ailments, as are aspirin, I personally never had any problem with co-codamol.

Re: Bloated
 

There's a great product called Wind-eze that you can get from chemists. I've had horrendous pain from trapped wind in the past, quite convinced it was either my appendix or a perforated bowel, but a couple of Wind-eze tablets shifted it. Oh and it's not an "embarrassing" cure either. There's no noise and no smell. :D

Re: Bloated
 

Colpermin , peppermint oil capsules work well if you have griping pains and bloating.

Re: Bloated
 

i feel a lot better now, someone said the other day that it could be IBS, i thought it was a load of bull......until Saturday morning, i'd been fine Friday night, then i shouted at Reece for something on Saturday and i started with the pains again, i didnt think stress could cause your tummy to contract like that

anyway, i've tried to keep myself calm since, and i've been ok...thanx you lot, you came through for me yet again, you all should really get an award :D
