Hi ladies. Looking for someone to calm me down a bit....Gone down a rabbit hole googling bloating, which I’ve always suffered from (IBS) but it’s really bad at the moment, tummy is quite flatish lying down, but I am carrying at least a stone of weight that needs to go, I’ve so much stress and hard life issues going on at the moment and been eating loads of carbs, sugary stuff etc, to keep my flagging energy levels up so I know that’s making it worse. When I lie down, my tummy is all wobbly and soft but on standing, it feels hard and stuffed and uncomfortable. Read about a condition called Acetis, fluid on the abdomen, caused by liver or ovarian cancer...it said that if you press hard in the middle of tummy, if it ‘waves’ to the other side it’s a bad sign....so I’ve been lying down trying to do it but is does just feel all soft.... I tried not to eat after my porridge this morning but then I got the bad shakes before so had to grab some food quick, not the right stuff either.
Just wondered if anyone else has bloating this bad and I know you’ll all say go to the Drs but I’m terrified, especially if means I’ll end up in hospital alone...😭. What have I started....argh!!
