i am allergic to dairy products, and i have had them cut out of my diet for 3-4 months. the past few weeks i feel bloated a lot...it seems worse after i eat sugar...what could this be? Also...when i eat salads i'm not bloated at all, but when i eat chocolate or cookies or cake (excluding glazed donuts...idk why but those don't hurt my stomach),etc, and also potatoes. my stomach ends up feels bloated(and i look 6 months pregnant...usually i'm pretty thin) and hurts really bad. what could this be?
please please answer!!! (i have a docotor's appointment, but it's on june 1, i need to know if i should move it up or not) please tell me what you think it is and what i should do!!
I also have very bad PMS with extreme back pain, cramps, holding 7-8lbs of water...all this lasts about 2 weeks/month...i've grown 3 bra sizes in the last year with no differentiation in weight ( i'm 17, so my periods are regular). i went from a size 32B-32DD. could this all be hormone related?

At your next exam, ask them to also check for a wheat allergy...I believe this is a simple saliva test. It would be good to rule this out if you can since there are a lot of Americans that are allergic to wheat but are not aware of it. Wheat (gluten) allergies can result in feelings a bloatedness, inflammation, or in same rare cases, colitus-type symptoms.

Yes, I would recommend moving this appt up from the 1st. There could be something going on with your gastrointestinal tract. One possibility is that you could be allergic to gluten and dealing with a condition called Celiac Disease.
