Today Ive eaten a tuna salad and drank 2 cups of black coffee - my stomach is literally bursting, any ideas?

[Overseasmom100]

I cant believe it!!!

Im low carbing so nothing Ive had today should make me like this :(

Extreme bloating and fullness after a small meal should be investigated. I’d see your GP if this continues.

I get a stomach ache sometimes if I eat a salad on an empty stomach ache. Have you got any Gavison or Rennies?

Try dandelion tea, it really helps with bloating. I’m not usually one for herbal remedies but read this helps for period bloating and I’ve found it useful since (also get on all fours with your arse in the air, gas rises so you can let it all out!)

Is it common for you? As a PP says, frequent unexplained bloating requires medical attention to rule out something sinister (ovarian cancer, bowel cancer, crohn's, IBD...etc.)

I react badly to lettuce.
plus lettuce & mayo & tuna spoil easily

Coffee on an empty stomach always gives me horrendous bloat. Try eating more.

It was def the lettuce!!!

Get it checked - feeling full too soon & unexplained bloating are 2 classic symptoms of ovarian cancer. Be good to rule that out.

Do the laughing baby yoga position, your wind will be released. Plus it's quite a funny position to be in.

Coffee can really irritate the stomach.

@slightlywizened John Hurt had a real problem like that...

Peppermint tea can help as can hot water with ginger.

If your stomach is literally bursting I would call an ambulance.

I can't eat iceberg lettuce or too many onions because they give me horrendous cramps and wind. I don't have a problem with salad leaves and echalion shallots though.

Whilst I’m sure it’s isn’t the case, the feeling full on little food is as above a symptom of ovarian cancer, but I assume there would be other symptoms too. Caveat I have no medical knowledge ! But felt I should T least mention it. I would seek medical advice regardless if it continues as it could be all manner of things.

@HeadintheiClouds why would it be a stealth boast? What a strange reaction to a question. The OP is concerned that after eating and drinking very little she is in discomfort with bloating.
Is it really that difficult to understand?

Maybe your stomach's shrunk after all that low-carbing. You've overdone it.

I’m getting a blood test when I get home as I have an ovarian cyst
Had it for about 12 years now
I’m sure my bloating is ibs
Don’t take gaviscon or Zantac or rennies..bicarbonate of soda is better on your stomach..that was from my doctor

Are you constipated. That can cause horrendous bloating. I know. I’ve been there and still working on it
I had raw onion at dinner last night and I’m wondering if I’m awake with wind right now because of it
It was seriously strong.
Lettuce really affects my friend..too much and she’s dashing to the loo
I’ve spent years trying to sort my stomach out so I’m not the best poster girl for it
Some colpermin might ease the pressure , peppermint tea or drinking half a lemon squeezed in hot water.

As a last resort I’ve used the master cleanse salt flush

Just thought of something else
My touch for health therapist said if you take your left hand flat palm and start at your belly button, rub clockwise in increasing circles, firmly not painfully, when you got to inside your left pelvic hip bone, do a deep flick as you come off your body.
That’s where the Houston valve is located and that will help to release pressure quickly.
