When I wake up in the morning my stomach is flat but as soon as I eat anything…I look like I’m 4-5 months pregnant. It’s terrible 😞

[@shikhabhatt1563]

Same with me

[@terohann]

Here’s how to get rid of it: Start intermittent fasting to have 12-15 hour’s period each day of not eating. Or as a better alternative, start an eating rhythm where you eat 5 times per day and nothing in between (except water). The supper would be 2 hours before going to bed. Adjust these meals to your needs, by default they'd be rather small in size. Avoid large portions. Do either of these two to reduce your daily food intake. The eating rhythm may reduce your blood pressure also. Add fiber to your diet. Reduce white flour and sugar to the minimum you can bear. Reduce other FODMAPs in your diet as much as you can. Check if oat is part of your problem. Another source of problems may be carob tree that is used as a thickener in many foods, especially vegetarian products. Check if there are sugar alcohols in your diet by looking for the following ingredients in everything you consume, including medicine and dietary supplements: maltitol, xylitol, isomalt, sorbitol and mannitol. Have more water, green tea or any other low-energy drink. Spend less time sitting and more on your feet. Have more sleep, start by adding 1 hour every night. I’m challenging you to try this for a month.

Not so complicated according to my Chinese doctor - if you don't chew your food properly and carbohydrates get into stomach, body cannot digest it and it starts to rot - hence bloating.

I was shocked to learn that those crispy things we enjoy such as bread crust or crispy skin or charred veggies/protein, create a toxic chemical that binds to receptors to stop vacation influx which creates a massive inflammatory response and oxidative stress which damages our mitochondria and creates a vicious cycle of aging and disease, and worse, apparently it's never broken down and gets stuck behind piling up. Is this accurate? Is it really never broken down and piles up? Wouldn't fasting flush and clean everything out? Or simply using cooking methods to ensure low 'ages' whilst fasting to clean it all out? Keeping the gut healthy is the key to longevity!

Love that you actually reply to messages, with honesty. Much apreciated. Question, can fatty liver or enlarged spleen cause bloating on upper area? Right below Rib cage, and mostly on the left side. I wake up, and 30 minutes later I'm bloated, before i even eat breakfast, i also have shortness of breath with my bloating. Any ideas? Thanks again

[@GutDr]

Thanks Pudatoo for your kind comment. As to your question - certainly fatty liver can result in symptoms which can include vague right upper quadrant pain. This is thought to occur in approximately a third of patients. It’s not impossible for left sided abdominal pain to be due to fatty liver but this usually occurs when there the liver has enlarged to quite a significant degree (hepatomegaly). An enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) can be a result of end-stage liver disease when there is very significant scarring of the liver (also known as cirrhosis). However it can also be found in patients without liver cirrhosis. In one Egyptian study just over 10% of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver had an enlarged spleen with no apparent cause found - so they attributed it to the fatty liver. Now I don’t know your specific medical details but if you do have a large liver and spleen then this could certainly result in the feeling of bloating and even shortness of breath at rest if these organs are extremely large although this is quite uncommon. It’s more likely that true shortness of breath at rest is due to other reasons than to a massive liver and spleen causing compression of other nearby structures. I would certainly have your shortness of breath at rest investigated by your local doctor because you don’t want conditions like coronary artery disease (as unlikely as it might be but it is linked to fatty liver and metabolic syndrome) missed.

I could use your help with a major issue that's bothering me! I've had some significant bowel issues that are problematic for the VA hospitals in Chicago to nail down. This has been affecting me for years now and it's so painful and debilitating that it's ruining my life. I have a surgical history that started with 1 small issue that has spiraled out of control now. The initial problem was a small, "unseen" abdominal wall hernia that was causing bowel issues. They couldn't find the hernia on any radiological or physical exams, but all of the normal tell tale signs of a partial bowel obstruction were there, ie no bowel sounds, extreme pain, nausea, reduced ability to pass gas or go to the bathroom, a "mild ileus" was found right where I felt the hernia on imaging, continous reports of "non specific bowel has pattern," many radiology reports of "Minimal stool in colon; 'small intestine inflated to MAX NORMAL SIZE 2.9cm in some locations," etc. But after 5 months I convinced the drs that I did have a hernia, and they did open surgery, found a hernia "exactly where you said it was," but for some reason the surgeons "did not believe small hernias can cause bowel issues," instead of doing normal due diligence, they didn't explore anything further, just "pushed the *trapped* hernia back down, sewn up the fascia, poorly put mesh down, and closed everything up. So fast forward some years and 5 surgeries later, I finally got video of my small intestines after my last surgery. It shows most of my "proximal small bowel is inflated...; while the terminal ileum and a small segment going backwards is flat and deflated." That was written by the surgeon at the VA after seeing the video. However, there's a wall of scar tissue (in the same area of the original hernia) that impedes the camera from seeing/tracking the inflated intestines going down, and the deflated intestines going backwards. In other words "the transition (where the inflated meets the deflated) for the small intestines cannot be seen." But secretly in my medical records where I can't get access to because it's the VA, he had a conversation with the chief of staff of the hospital and he explained to her "you can't see what's happening with the small intestines, so you can't see the cause of this abnormal transition, and I'm not sure what the problem is so I don't know how to fix it, so I can't recommend any treatment or further action at this time." Long story short, they see significant bowel issues but because of tricky wordplay, no further treatment is necessary at this time. This sounds batshit crazy but it's all 100% true. It seems every doctor is unwilling or afraid to go against the first doctor. I've seen specialists who say this is a major issue, that original doctor needs to diagnose this so that you can get help. Go back to the original doctor; but he is extremely unwilling and careful not to change his original diagnosis of "nothing wrong, hernia not the cause of any issues, bowel problems are all in his head." Even though after the hernia was initially repaired, the bowel issues went away, every psychological issue went away, my vitals and everything went back to normal (for the 10 days that that repair lasted), and everything came back when repair failed and hernia came back, he called it a "coincidence" which is still his reasoning to this day. A coincidence.

[@charwest9449]

Wow, the medical system is so messed up. One wrong diagnosis and even when it's proven wrong, subsequent doctors still back him up. They think patients have no clue what's happening. But you do. I guess all you can do is keep trying to find a good doctor who will fix all of this.

Sometimes when I have very sore stomach pain I worry that I have got other things wrong. But after having 4ft of small Intesting removed when I was 13yrs old I have been always had a problem with my bowels from time to time.. But when I do get this soreness in my stomach area I try to make life easier for me by trying to work it off as having air blockage but it can also bee caused from doing the wrong kind of lifting & exercise work..

Gut Dr. - I need your help!!! I have had stomach pain for 2 years now and I am still not able to find a solution. My symptoms are bloating and gas throughout the day but get very bad at night while laying down. I feel that I cannot sleep until I have let all the gas out out, which usually takes a couple of hours. I have tried almost everything, changing my diet and several dr visits. I have seen my GI doctor who has done an endoscopy and colonoscopy and could not find any issues. Also if I over eat, I get very sick and throw up. I was hoping you came across someone with my similar symptoms and could point me in the right direction. Thank you, David

Dear Dr I’m a female in my fourties and I suffer from bloating at evening/ night time. I’m like a size bigger at night but back to normal in the morning. No IBS and no gases are my problems. I think with age it’s getting worse. I have always had constipation.

[@teresajose2280]

Go vegan. That’ll help with everything.

[@73cidalia]

@@teresajose2280 Not necessarily. I've tried eating all plant-based, and even tried easing into it, and couldn't stand the unbelievable bloating, gas, heartburn, and diarrhea. This video is literally describing types of carbs (that come from plant foods) that increase gas and bloat. Some people like me don't do well with high carb, even if it's from whole plant foods.

[@lovely7464]

Spinach is the best veggies, even with vegan you can’t eat everything and expect washboard abs. Carbs from rice and omg broccoli is the worst, it’s a FOMAD? one of the worst foods that causes bloating. I get what Teresa is saying. Kinda true, just have to still be mindful even with vegan. And eat what works for your body.

[@jasonbryan9056]

Hello how are you doing 😊😊

[@mienkeknipe9137]

The answer for me is Keto aka no sugar and carbs. Gastroentorologist said I have acid reflux, IBS and visberal hypersensitivity. This, despite the stomach descending visually. Nonetheless. Some gastroentorologists just don't take pasients seriously when they say they have pain. I've been to 4 in 6 years and all of them are the same.

[@AnaFB9696]

Great explanation. I've been experiencing some of. This symptoms in fact i had a bladder infection due to the gut. It's very painful. I wasn't able to release the gas so i was very, very bloated. This started in June until last week. But now there are some foods that i can't eat. It triggers immediately. Broccolis, white bread, beans.. It's hard. I m taking some medication and now i can release the gas but its every time i eat. I just can't eat anything.

[@ZeroGravity60]

Hi! This is an extreme suggestion but from one blocked person to another, get yourself a decent-sized plastic straw, lubricate the area, and carefully insert about one to two inches. Be careful! Go slow! This will get you just past the anus and connect you with some of the air you're holding onto. I don't often use this technique but in times of emergency, it has served me well. [Stage 4 cancer]

[@tomservo75]

That is very insightful. I suffer from high amounts of gas and bloating myself. I don't think it gets trapped that much because flatulence is pretty frequent, and bowel movements frequency and consistency are normal. So I wonder if I actually have IBS until I see videos like this because it does make sense given what I'm experiencing. I have a history of hernias and obstructions in the past so it doesn't take much at all to raise alarm bells. But the feelings of distention are something I can relate to.

[@rohannaeem123]

Always" Don't eat until you are very hungry, so your body will produce enough acid to digest the food. Now a days too much food around us and we don't get enough hungry but we eat our food on time

When you have sharp pain in your stomach is some times means that you are drinking alot of carbonated drinks therefore it can build up gas.

Excellent animation + animation.. very interesting. Thank you. Can you please tell me how to increase digestive power or functional disorder of the gut to aid complete digestion, absorption and assimilation of food?

[@GutDr]

Thanks Bhavini. The good news is that the gut naturally has an immense capacity for digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. The key is to preserve the health of our gut and a large part of that involves looking after our overall health. It may be sound cliched but it's really important to avoid factors that are detrimental to our overall health e.g. smoking, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, stress etc because they also have a negative impact on our gastrointestinal health. Diet also has a large role to play and avoiding excess fats, ensuring enough fibre, balanced diet etc is integral to this.
