What is wrong with me?! Been bloated for months now

[DarknessDark]

I have been bloated since September last year, some days are worse than others. I have always had a flat stomach so it’s definitely not normal for me.

Since then I’ve had various tests. I’ve had stool tests, all of which came back negative. I have had a coeliac test which came back negative. My CA125 blood test was normal. IBS test normal. I’ve tried keeping a food diary and no patterns, I have switched to everything whole meal as well and nothing is making a difference. I’ve been in and out the GP and everything always comes back fine.

And yet today, I’m the most bloated I’ve ever been. I feel puffy and horrible and my loose trousers are so tight.

Where do I go from here?! I feel like I’ve been tested for everything and it’s just getting worse

I've been exactly the same and ended up with severe abdominal pain. I was impacted. Been using movical for two weeks now and it's so much better.

BTW I did have an x-Ray and scan which showed it all.

Have you tried cutting carbohydrates to see if that makes a difference ?

I was going to suggest giving up bread.

Similar issues but with added morning rush diarrhea.
Wasn't coeliac but appears I am non-coeliac gluten intolerant. My youngest son is the same.
Went gluten free and things improved dramatically.
I also can't tolerate large quantities of rice or oats.
Worth eliminating.

Food intolerance? Maybe gluten or dairy.

You can still be intolerant to gluten despite the coeliac test coming back negative. I was having problems with digestion and bloating and I gave up gluten (it's in so many things it's ridiculous) and dairy and it has made a huge difference.

I've had this, turns out I had extremely poor gut health and no good bacteria at all! I have been working to get my gut healthier and have noticed a huge change in my symptoms

I was also going to suggest gluten intolerance. I have a dc with this (also one with coeliac) so had lots of tests.
We eliminated gluten totally and was much improved within two weeks.

Sweeteners

My mum did something like this, based on a book called eat right for your blood type Sounds nuts but made a world of difference to her. Massively so. It's an easy fix too if it works.

Have you done a food sensitivity test? Sounds like ibs. What test did you have for that? When I was diagnosed they said there is no test for ibs it’s just a case of ruling everything else out first

I’ve cut out bread. I’m still eating cake biscuits etc but nothing with yeast. My bloating has completely gone. I look so much slimmer. I’m 50.

Would it be worth doing a food sensitivity test? I’ve heard they can be a bit inaccurate
