Bloated Stomach

[BrignanoJ]

hi everyone, just a quick one really, i was wondering if any women suffer from really bad stomach bloating and pain. i have had this for several weeks now and it doesn't seem to be getting any better and its that bad that it makes me look pregnant... does anyone have any advice on this and any tablets/medication that i could get from a supermarket to help with this? i would be really appreciated thank you

Thankfully, this is not something I have experienced.
However, I would be looking to understand the cause which is often diet related (and not something I have heard as related to diabetes). Have you changed your diet in the last few weeks, tried different bread or pasta or ...?
Treatment may be about cutting out something rather than taking medication.

The only - but most memorable episode of similar symptoms was after eating things sweetened with sugar alcohols.
Never again.
