I too have had this terrible bloat for several months without relief. I
have gone to several doctors and basically they say I have some upper GI
problemts but the lower ones are tough to diagnos and I am on the best
medicine I can be so basically I have to live with it. I have been
seeking alternative medicince without much relief with that either. I
haven't had a period since Dec. 5, 2003 despite repeated courses of
hormones. I can't help but think all of this is related. I realized
this was dated a few years ago did you ever find anything out?
