help re extreme bloat (photos): this isnt normal?

Mich4871

I get abnormal (and painful) bloating if I eat anything with corn or soy in it. I can look 6 months pregnant for a week or more before it subsides. Since being diligent about products with corn and soy in them I have not had this problem.

I am lactose and soy intolerant. There are many lactose free foods available, and I can eat one brand of yogurt. I always read packages for milk and soy ingredients.

Lactose gives me a headache and intestinal problems, and soy kills my stomach and makes me feel very sick. I figured this all out by doing an elimination diet.

Thanks, I've been on a very low-sugar elimination diet including 1 month on fodmaps and never saw any improvement in the stomach issues. My diet has been green veg, oil, and protein via crab, prawns, chicken, turkey and tuna. I've just finished a 7 day course of high dose probiotics and am worse than ever! Starting Nystatin tomorrow; again, the only relief I've had was for three days following a single 150mg dose of diflucan. I hope it is Candidiasis, I've just about ruled out everything else

Please keep us posted on our progress. Did the treatment work?

You said carb and sugar free foods? Does this mean you're consuming artifical sweeteners? I know many, many folks, including myself, who experience bloat after doing so. Something to consider.
