Hi! My name is Kim and I am having the same problem with bloating. I have never had a tubligation done, but I do have small fibroids. This was done with a vaginal exam a couple of years ago. However, the fibroids are not causing any problems at this time, at least as far as I know. The problems I am experiencing right now is Anemia (very low blood) with heavy bleeding some months during my periods, bloating (my abdomen always protrudes no matter what I eat or don't eat), and cravings for eating ice (my doctor says this is a sign of low blood - being anemic).

My question is: Does the bloating, anemia, and ice craving come from the fibroids or is the fibroids causing the anemia, bloating and ice eating craving?

The bloating of the abdomen just recently started and it is causing me to be depressed. I am currently on a diet and taking the generic brand of Fastin and drinking Slim Fast and I do exercise some time. However, the bloating in the abdomen area does not tend to go away and I feel that I am wasting time dieting when this one area will not slim down.

Can you please give me some answers on the above to help me determine what I need to do. Also, I do need to mention that I went to see my M.D. and I was diagnosed with diverticulosis and am currently taking medication for this. The medication is doing very well, but I am still experiencing the bloating.

Thanks!

Kim
