Answer 1

A bloated stomach is often caused by a sudden increase in fiber from vegetables, fruits and beans. If this is the cause of your bloating, you might ease up on these foods and reintroduce them more gradually into your diet. Alternatively, persevere and the bloated feeling should pass within a matter of days.

The most common causes of chronic stomach bloating are irregular digestive processes which produce gases at a much higher rate than normal

*

Pre-menstrual Tension (PMT) - The symptoms tend to disappear or greatly improve once the bleeding actually starts.

*

Contraceptive pill

*

Too much alcohol

*

Salt, or processed foods in your diet - even a small amount of excess sodium causes bloating.

*

Too little protein in diet.

*

Doctors believe that bloating is usually the result of an intestinal disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The cause of IBS is unknown, but may involve abnormal movements and contractions of intestinal muscles and increased pain sensitivity in the intestine. These disorders may give a sensation of bloating because of increased sensitivity to gas.
*

Carbonated Drinks- Fizzy drinks, including soda pop and spritzers, increase bloating because the carbon dioxide trapped in the bubbles creates gas, which slows down stomach emptying.

*

Water intake: Many women believe that drinking too much water will give them puffy abs, but just the opposite is true. Even though we associate water with being bloated, drinking more water can help to flush sodium out of the body, and that reduces the bloat.

*

Lactose Intolerance- sometimes your stomach is unable to digest the lactose--or milk sugar--in dairy foods leading to bloating.

*

Food allergies can cause your stomach to puff out, too. But this is a reaction of the immune system involving the whole body, and usually hives and runny nose are the more prominent symptoms

*

Any disease that causes intestinal inflammation or obstruction, such as Crohn's disease or colon cancer, may also cause abdominal bloating. In addition, people who have had many operations, adhesions (scar tissue), or internal hernias may experience bloating or pain.

*

Finally, eating a lot of fatty food can delay stomach emptying and cause bloating and discomfort.

Answer 2

Have her man get his stuff tied up instead. It's really dangerous for a woman to get her tubes tied, and if any man really cares there's no way he would put a woman through that, when his operation is painless and simple. Unfortunatly it's too late.

Answer 3

Have you thought maybe it could be her diet. It's nothing to do with getting her tubes tied.

Answer 4

It is air and fluid backed up....all she can do is wait. I have had 5 operations on female parts, it jus takes time,,,good news is she won't get pregnannt again!!!!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7
