Question: I am a 50 yr old woman, complete hysderectomy 22 years ago. For over a year now I have had breathing and stomach problems, last December landed in the ER, I couldn't breath, they said acid reflux. Although I didn't have any burning, gas, etc, certainly I had enough stress (lost my 29 year old son), they put me on Prilosec, simbacord, flunisolide, saline spray and a nebulizer machine, after we leveled my breathing problems out, things kept changing, I kid you not, I am bloated, my belly and face, my girth has gone from a 32 to a 38 and that was in a matter of a few month, my stomach is firm but BIG and rounded, I ran into a woman while traveling in July and she told me to see an allergist. As time goes by, I am feeling burning in my stomach more often, my breathing is fine, I'm tired more than normal but do walk 3 miles almost every day. I've had ultra sound, scope, cat scan and all have been negative, I've read plenty of blogs, tried the charcol tablet, aloe juice, no relief. I do take Prilosec, lisinoprin, estrogen and simvastrin daily. Any suggestions you have would help, I'm a vet and use the VA clinic so if I can make suggestions to speed up this weeding out process that would be great.
Best a Regards,
XXXX

I don't understand the amatriptaline, although I have experienced great loss, I don't find myself depressed. I do recall taking this medication years ago for my migraine headaches and had no positive results. I'm wondering about gluten alergy, celiacs disease, I most definitely don't do dairy well. I've always been able to tolerate breads, pasta, etc, though don't consume a lot of them but an icecream cone can send my stomach into a lot of pain, so I use almond milk, etc. does fibromyalgia cause your girth to expand in a matter of months and make your stomach bloated to a point it is not only embarrassing but uncomfortable. I did have right rotator cuff surgery a year and half ago, and verve damage repair in my left arm about a year and a few months ago, I do get the nerves fried in my lower back, have had that done twice, the last time 4 months ago, although I don't find a corilation, thought I should tell you about those. Would any type of allergy cause this type of girth growth and bloating?
Thanks
