Suggest Treatment For Constant Bloating
I become bloated EVERY DAY to the point where it looks like I am at least 5 months pregnant. This has been going on since middle school and I am now 22. There has never been a period in which my symptoms have subsided and I have had many different diets in the last 10 yrs, none of which have been successful in alleviating my symptoms. I have been to several specialists, have had a colonoscopy, upper GI, CT Scan, and several ultrasounds. I even swallowed a camera that took pictures of my insides every 30 seconds. I am getting desperate for answers. I exercise 4-5 days a week and my entire body is toned, but I cannot wear a bikini unless I starve myself. What is going on??
