I am having stomach bloating every time I eat. Hurts in the middle. Gallbladder gone and I have pouch. 5 years out from surgery. It's hurting and I'm not sure what to do. Last I ate chicken but could be eating too

Much. Sick with head cold too. It awful. I'm not drinking or doing anything until is passes.

I also was taking Ibpro 800 with coding I o know dumb dumb.

Hoping I haven't done damage.

Thanks for any feedback.

It could be an ulcer from the ibuprofen. I'd call your Dr.

I am not a medical professional so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I was wondering if you were taking any antibiotics for your sinus condition. If so you might have killed off the good bacteria in your gut and that could be causing the bloating and discomfort. After a regiment of antibiotics it is important to reestablish the colony of good bacteria in your gut by using Probiotics.

Ibuprofen 800mg falls under a class of medicine called NSAIDs. The warnings associated with using this class of medicine are:

Cardiovascular Risk

• NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.
• Ibuprofen tablets are contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Gastrointestinal Risk

• NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events.

So since you are taking Ibuprofen, as @@KristenLe has mentioned, you might have induced an ulcer.

I'd definitely make an appointment with the doctor and have your stomach checked out. I would stick to using Tylenol rather than Ibuprofen. That is dangerous with a pouch. James is correct too about the probiotic. I take a probiotic daily due to IBS, and trust me it helps immensely.

Thank you so much. And yes NO IBPRO!

I have an appointment for scope 8-3-2016. I'm gonna go back to soft liquids.

I asked the other gentleman that was kind to reply as well if you have a favorite Probottic? I need a good one.

Thanks so much. Right now dealing with a awful head cold came right on. Ugh.

I use Align. I actually use the Walmart brand, Equate, that is the same exact product as Align. I suffer from IBS, so it has been a life saver for me.

Unfortunately anytime you take an antibiotic, it clears out all bacteria; not just the bad but the good gut flora bacteria. An antibiotic will also clear out your probiotic, so during the time of antibiotic use, I found that a product called Florastor does not get cleared out with the antibiotic. So, if I have an infection and need antibiotic to clear, I use Florastor and it works like a champ.

Awesome. Thanks so much. And I agree the name brand or non name brand is the same thing. Perfect. And yes I started antibiotics. But was in Cancun 6 days and are too Much. I know id did.

So I'm back on plan. Get my test 8-3. Gonna eat smart and mindful again. But need to get Probottic. Thanks so Much
