Hi,
know it's been a while since I've posted on here...
Anyway... a bit about myself for people who don't know me on here...I'm 29, have c.f, was diagnosed at 2 1/2 years of age, am pancreatic insufficient and my lung function is 50 - 55% FEV1 predicted.
Also a few years back (2007)suffered bowel blockages 5 time in that year. The following year I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome)also <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
So recently I've started myself on this gluten free diet for the past 2 months and am having some good results with feeling better in the gut area, eg. not as much pain.
But one thing still remains...the excessive bloating I have every time I eat anything! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
It's so frustrating as I really do look prego! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Anyway when I first get up in the morning my stomach looks not not so bloated but after I've got myself something to eat like for example: rices with a chopped banana and low fat milk it goes so bloated and feel heavy <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
So I'll get to the reason I'm posting on here...
My question to others with perhaps the same problem or have c.f pancreatic insufficient problems are:
Are there anything tricks, tips, for example - (special diets, certain healthy foods,supplements, etc) that you have found helpful to stop the bloating stomach?
I would appreciate your feedback on this. I'm all ears <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Thanks in advance,
