Abdominal Bloading - Discomfort No Diareah or Constipation

by Meeshie734, Aug 27, 2008 06:29PM
I am a 27 year old (very healthy) female. I have had bloating and slight discomfort in my lower abdominal area for over a week now. I am having normal bowel movements and urination is normal. My doctor has ruled out any reproductive conditions or infections, and says that there is a lot of gas in my abdominal area. He wished that I wait and see if it goes away. It's not going away and I find it very uncomfortable. Any ideas on what this could be??

1. Lactose intolerance
2. Fructose malabsorption
3. Diverticulitis - lower left abdominal pain, bloating, possible fever. Diagnosis is with x-ray with barium enema and stool culture.

What do you think?

Thanks for the info... I would like to explore these options with my Doctor if this problem persists. Any ideas on how long I should wait before returning to my Dr? This has been going on for about 9 days now.

Try above diet trials one after one (2 days each), and if it doesn't help, go to the doctor.
