What Causes Severe Abdominal Bloating?
Question: hello doc
two weeks ago on July 16, 2016 i think i drank bad milk. so after a few hours i was feeling very bloated and also a few days before that i was super stressed and was also attending a wedding the next day. Had a slight fever but it went away. But the bloating feeling is still here up until now. It has almost been two weeks, i notice that it gets worse if I take some dairy products like cheese especially.
what do i have? i noticed that I feel better if I pass gas or take a dump. Also have hemorrhoids, Is this IBS or hyperacidity? or something much worse?
Please help.

Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!
You are reporting that you have had bad milk plus fever two weeks ago and you continue to have bloating etc.
Your symptoms seems to be related with :
1. gut bacterial misbalance
2. lactose intolerance after a gastroenteritis
3. SIBO
To my opinion you should use:
- simethicone (help reducing gas forming)
- probiotic
- PPI like prilosec to reduce stomach acidity.
Also you should take care of your diet like:
- avoid fast foods
- avoid fatty and sugar foods
- avoid foods that increase gas forming like beans, broccoli, pears or soft drinks.
- eat often and small amount of meal.
Hope it was helpful to you.
