<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Greetings, Everyone Many thanks to those who have responded to my recent inquiry about chronic bloating despite GF status. The following is a summary of suggestions regarding evaluation and treatment of chronic bloating. It was comforting to hear that I'm not alone in dealing with this problem. Below are suggestions as to what causes bloating and how you might treat it. 1) Casein or lactose intolerance. Some people are lactose intolerant permanently, but others can resume dairy after their gut heals (which can take up to a couple years). Probiotics must be lactose/dairy free. 2) Pancreatitis (use Solaray Liver Formula (S-13), "Perfect Food" or "Primal Defense") 3) Candidiasis 4) Permanent damage from gluten 5) Inadequate secretion of digestive juices by stomach, pancreas, gallbladder. Some people use enzymes, but they are not always effective. One product, Phazyme, was listed as helping the poster). 6) Intestinal infection 7) Parasites (Hulda Clark parasite elimination program, see www.Amazon.com for review of "The Cure for All Diseases") 8) Food allergies (elimination diet and allergy testing at www.ozemail.com.au/~sdengate and www.betterhealthusa.com were given enthusiastic reviews by satisfied customers. Also, some are allergic to acidophilus. 9) Wrong diet. Suggests "Eat Right for Your Bloodtype." www.4yourtype.com sells probiotics that reportedly react well with your given bloodtype. Another poster suggested juicing, making sure you drink plenty of water, and eating a little bit of rice with each meal -- although I would urge caution for people, like myself, who cannot tolerate any grain, including rice! 10) Lack of exercise. One person stated that exercise decreases bloating in their case. Don't know, but that may be related to what I've read on candidiasis and how exercise/increased oxygen is important to an anti-candida regimen. Thanks again to ALL! I now have more options to explore. Latimer NYC
