I’m a bit worried, it’s almost like a baby moving around in there! Am deffo not pg though, too old and pg tests are negative. Plus have had this for months, so would know by now if was pg!

i also get bloated after eating, though this does subside after a while. Bloating comes and goes. Also get bouts of wind pain, think it’s if I eat too much Canderel. But I don’t tend to get the really bad pain if I avoid the artificial sweeteners. Am finding Smint is deadly for this. And the gaseous smell is something else (smells like metal).

Might also be related to my recent fad of chewing gum. But am worried I’ve somehow triggered something worse, as also beginning to get a bit of acid reflux (this disappeared when I lost weight but has made a mild reappearance).

I suppose I need to bin all the sweeteners and see if it all resolved don’t I. Just got paranoid that I’ve damaged my stomach / intestines and triggered some kind of cancer.

Can anyone talk me down? I’m in my late 40’s so approaching snipers alley as they say
