A member asked:

My stomach is bloated and uncomfortable. left hand gets numb when woking and difficulty in standing up due to back pain. both legs and hands swell.

Maybe not one issue?: There are lots of reasons for abdominal discomfort & bloating, & not all of them are due to the GI tract. Even "functional" syndromes may be present without underlying "disease." however psbo (paralyzed gut) due to metabolic & inflammatory conditions nearby (like an untreated infection of the urinary tract)must be considered & addressed. Check with your doctor for examination & treatment options.
