Accepted Answer

Time to see GYN MD: It is time to see a GYN MD to determine the cause of your medical issues as described above. The excessive bleeding for 10 days can lead to anemia which may already be present in your extreme "tiredness". The GYN MD will assess your issues and determine what Rx. is needed.

Question 2

what causes frequent bloating?

Accepted Answer

Maybe IBS, but...: The GI tract has a very limited # of symptoms to signal its distress--nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation, bloating, pain, fullness, bleeding, etc. As you know, many of these characterize ibs, but are also seen with inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, malabsorptive, and functional disorders. Directed lab work, imaging, biopsies, stool studies are appropriate in excluding non-ibs pathology.

Question 3

do cherries cause bloating?

Accepted Answer

The divine cherry: Cherries contain anthocyanins which help to prevent free radical damage to cells.  Cherries can decrease levels of uric acid (gout).One study suggested that ingesting montgomery tart cherries helped osteoarthritis pain. One cup of cherries is only 87 calories and has 2.9 grams of fiber.  Cherries are not bloaters. Viva la cherry!

Question 4

can eating quinoa cause bloating?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Quinoa is definitely high in indigestible fiber, thus may increase fermentation products from GI bacteria, leading to more gas production, ie., bloating. Your colon will get used to it, and thus less bloating after a while, so best to increase fiber in small increments to lessen this side effect!

Question 5

do cesearean sections cause bloating?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Immediately after any abdominal surgery you may have abdominal bloating and swelling for several weeks.

Question 6

what causes bloating during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone : During ovulation a small cyst ruptures and releases the egg.  There is usually fluid and blood released too.  This may cause bloating and pain.  Progesterone levels rise and stay high for 2 weeks.  This leads to some of the pms symptoms like bloating, fluid retention, constipation, and others.  If the symptoms pass it is likely related to ovulation.  If not you should see you provider.

Question 7

can taking 2 excedrin every day cause bloating?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Taking Aspirin (250 mg in each excedrin extra strength) everyday can cause stomach irritation and lead to a feeling of bloating and indigestion. The tylenol (acetaminophen) probably would not cause bloating unless you got to the point if liver injury. I would avoid taking it as an everyday pain medication and speak to you physician regarding a long term alternative.

Question 8

is there anything that can cause major bloating when you are diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Gastroparesis: Chronic abdominal bloating, feeling full before a meal can be finished, etc. Can be symtpoms of a neuropathy of the gut which can occur in patients who've had longstanding (and likely not well-controlled) diabetes. The patient's treating physician needs to know about the symptoms for a proper medical evaluation and possible treatment.

Question 9

was told white toast good for gastritis but with h2o does it not cause  bloating ?

Accepted Answer

No: Typically we suggest bland diet with gastritis. Unless you have celiac disease white toast shouldn't bother you.

Question 10

can a thyroidectomy cause bloating of the body and if so how long until it gets back to normal?

Accepted Answer

Thyroidectomy: Hi. Thyroidectomy is usually done for thyroid cancer. Thyroid hormone has a long half-life in the blood, and if you are started on thyroid hormone replacement right away after surgery, you shouldn't feel bloated. However, we do see that sensation in some people, depending on the dose we start you on (it's just a hunch-we then adjust based on labs). The use of Thyrogen has made that all easier! GL!
