Hi my dear,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
You mention to be bloated everyday although you have small meals (5 or 6 meals/day) with limited carb foods. You also mention a personal history of
umbilical hernia but with no pain while being very active.
Now, feeling bloated although the diet changes is suggestive for a possible problem with your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
As this is happening everyday, I think it's time to get some tests in order to determine the right diagnosis:
- abdominal
ultrasound to evaluate the hernia and other GI organs
-
lactose intolerance test
- fecal analysis and culture to rule out candida overgrowth
Until you get the tests done, I highly recommend to add probiotics to your everyday diet to stabilize intestinal flora. Avoid drinking fluids with straw or avoid all foods that would increase
bloating (e.g. beans, cauliflower, broccoli, dairy, etc.).
Take
simethicone with carbone to ease the bloating.
Hope this helps.
