Tummy query!

fifomania

Does anyone start the day with a flat enough tummy but by night time it is about 4 times bigger and hard to the touch!?

Loopy

Story of my life...

Not hard to touch though, just a whole lot bigger:D

I say get it seen too...

Twee.

Ah yeah, sure isn't it full if food by that time! You're even supposed to weigh yourself in the morning to get your actual weight. You could be bloated? Too much carbs or refined carbs (white bread/pasta). Could be a wheat intolerance either. I say get it seen to also...

Abi

Could be wheat intolerace. Visit your GP, who will refer you to a nutritionalist if that is the case.

Try giving up eating anything with yeast in it. Sorted it for me, big time. Lots of problems sorted just by giving it up.

ok you might be grossed out by this but if its an issue for you and you care about your health, id suggest going for a colonic, look into it it's not as unnatural as people think and afterwards they'll tell you from what they find what you should eat more of or stay away from, makes sense really, best of look

Cheeky_gal

What are you all waffling about!?! Everyones stomach is going to be bigger at night and less "big" in the morning! It's only natural sure you've been eating all day.

"I'd suggest going to your local GP OP" etc. etc.

No no NO!! God... women! :rolleyes:

There should only be one thing that gets four times bigger and is hard to touch and it shouldn't be a stomach

Its not uncommon for a woman to get a bit bloated and feel a little uncomfortable. But it shouldnt hurt. The poster said it hurts to touch her stomach, thats worth a GP visit. Wouldn't you think?

Erm, well I would have read that as hard to touch as in her stomach feels "hards" i.e bricks...

Whenever Pighead reads a Cheeky_gal post his poor wee head is sore to the touch. Will eating less wheat help poor Pigheads throbbing cranium?

FruitLover

Hard to the touch = not normal.

Heres a cure Pighead.... Go f*ck a holly tree!! :mad:

is that not just a natural thing, like ur lyin gon ur back, and you muscles relax around your nearly empty stomach, so its flat, and then all day ur sitting and eating, so streching ur stomach muscles, so when they relax in the evening they just kinda hang out?? make sense?

Pigheads shocked and disgusted with your vulgarity and profanities. You're not a Cheeky_gal you're a Vulgar_gal. Pighead knows cheeky when he sees it. Cheeky is your loved one or mother pulling away your towel as you walk down to your room having just had a warm refreshing shower.

Cheeky is asking a stranger on the street what time it is and him retorting whilst chuckling "Time you got a watch" Cheeky is happy go lucky and carefree. Go f*ch a holly tree is none of the above. Change your name and change your attitude Vulgar_gal.:mad:

I disgust myself...

Apologies...

Whatever you do don't go for colonic, not at least until you talk to your Doc, I got quite ill last year and someone suggested a colonic, thankfully I went to the Doc first and got referred on, as a colonic could have caused serious damage.
AFAIK anyone administering a colonic can do so without medical training, and tbh if someones going to be shoving a load of soapy water into my colon I'd hope they'd be somewhat medically trained.

Cheeky, I read the OP's post and it does say 'hard' rather than painful. I think by reading other posters comments I mistakenly assumed without looking back that the OP used the word also. Either way she can clarify it in the morning, but I'd say it is quite painful if her stomach feels stiff



Pighead.. I couldnt help but notice your throbbing cranium..

Cut out dairy, wheat and fizzy drinks. Do, however, try and eat natural yoghurt. Try taking fibre supplements to 'get things moving'.

You might have mild Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I have this and bloating is one of the signs.

A home-made ice lolly right? Frozen things expand... right?

But seriously, that has always happened to me, including the "hardness" which is better than wobbliness. Some of us are just more prone to bloating than others, and it could also be fluid retention. Caffeine and salt contribute to that so cut down on those two. And yes, it could be a yeast/wheat intolerance - something which I have in mild doses.

It's not a big deal.

Folks, may I remind you that Boards is not a place to be dishing out medical advice. We haven't quite got to that stage yet, but I'll start deleting posts as soon as we do.

OP, if you feel it may be a medical matter, go see your GP rather than asking strangers on the internet.

Surely then, assuming you mean a "liquid lunch", a cork opener/puller would be far more useful than a cork itself?

Colonic could seriously disrupte the natural bacteria etc in your digestive system.

Plus, there will do nothing to deal with the root of the OP's issue which is most likely some kind of food intolerance.

OP, a dietician would be my first port of call tbh.

Funnee:D

Seriously though OP go a couple of weeks without potatoes or bread and see if that makes any diff. It certainly does to me.

If not, visit the doc and get a referral to a dietician, not someone with a table in a health food shop who calls themselves a nutrition/allergy expert!:pac:
