I am currently taking 80mg of Oprezol a day as well as a slew of other I went in to the walk in clinic yesterday they said 1) my organs are full of air they are not sure why but I have a ton of air in my stomach my intestines and other places threw out my body i was told to follow up with my family care doctor they also gave me anti itching meds and gave me other things to go with it a medicine to get my bowels moving that I will take this afternoon once I am home and I can actully not be running back and forth to work--- So that is the plan I will call my PCP today shortly thanks for all the good advice

Body full of air? never heard of that, hope they sort you out

I know you said you are taking a stool softener if that is the case increase your water intake. The stool softener will extract water from your bowels and dehydrate you more and dehydration will cause more issues for you. I remember when I did Atkin's I was severely constipated and had to go to the Emergency room, boy that was not fun for me or the nurses.

My rather simple question, have you changed laundry products? I've had similar symptoms and it was that easy. If you have, you don't have to get rid of the detergent. Just add 1/4 C vinegar to your rinse cycle.

Hope you are feeling better.

There are a couple of things that come to mind here. First, when you are on a high Protein diet you can get constipated. Second, what is your Water intake? If you are drinking coffee or any caffeinated beverage you have to add double the amount of water to cover the caffeine intake because it will dehydrate you. The itching could be a sign of dehydration. You have to drink at least 64oz of water plus the water you intake for protein and food. Second, your body is going through a drastic nutritional change make sure you are getting the right Vitamins. Third with this nutritional change comes new allergies, likes, and dislikes. Look at what you are eating. Low carb diets could cause Keto Rashes. Look up, Keto Rash or Candida.

Oh wow - I've never heard of Keto Rash before so I looked it up - here is a quick YouTube to watch...totally makes sense! Thanks!
