how to get rid of flatulence?? - #21776

ayhaja

I’m a 23y.o woman. I weigh 56 kg and I’m 165 cm tall. A year ago, I used to weigh 65 kg. I lost weight because everything I eat bothers me and causes abdominal bloating. The bloating started about two years ago. Before those two years, I had absolutely no problems with my digestive system. I could eat anything without ever getting gas. The problem began when I was 21. I had constipation for ten days, and that’s when everything started. After that, I kept experiencing constipation more frequently. Then about a year later — so one year ago — I developed a small external hemorrhoid, and my bowel movements started feeling incomplete. I pass stool, but I always feel like there is still stool stuck inside that I can’t push out because the anal sphincter tightens on its own, and I can’t relax it again. After I have a bowel movement, the gas decreases, but it never goes away completely. I continue to feel discomfort all day in my abdomen and hear strange sounds. I also feel discomfort around the vulva area, as if it’s always tense or firm, and it bothers me when I sit. When I wake up, I have a lot of gas, which decreases after I go to the bathroom, but it comes back again after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also suffer from chronic anxiety. I don’t know why, but I’ve had this since I was young. I went to many doctors, but nothing helped. I visited gastroenterologists, and they told me I have an external hemorrhoid and internal hemorrhoids (grade 2), and that I have a “lazy colon.” I went to a mental health doctor to treat the chronic anxiety, and he prescribed medication that reduced my anxiety, but my colon symptoms didn’t improve. For the past 8 months, I’ve actually managed to resolve the constipation — I do have bowel movements regularly now — but I still can’t empty completely. I tried exercising, but it didn’t help. I tried herbal teas, but they didn’t help. I tried many, many medications, but nothing helped. I used a lot of creams around the anus and inside the rectum, did sitz baths, and followed many healthy habits, but still nothing. I continue to suffer from severe bloating and excessive gas in my abdomen. It’s very uncomfortable, even though it’s not really painful. The discomfort is strong. I started biofeedback three weeks ago, but I don’t see any improvement yet. What bothers me the most is the bloating, gas, and flatulence. I truly feel like I’m going to fall into depression because of this. Not to mention I tried every medicine possible, laxatives,enzymes, magnesium, omega 3,probiotics+prebiotics and so many others that I can't even remember Please help me stop my bloating and flatulence😭 Note: my gas has no odour at all,and when i fast my gaz goes away, so i know that this gaz is related to food, i tried carnivore diet and still got bloated,i removed all milk and lactose, gluten from my diet but also didnt get any better:/
