Have Bloating, Acidity, IBS. Had Abortion, Gained Weight. Are These Related?

Is it possible to have bloating/gas/IBS after an abortion (D&C) 4 years ago? I never had any of these systems in my life until after I had that procedure done. I have gained about 30 lbs since then, as well. Could any of this be related? Why i have asked my drs in the past, they skim over the abortion part like it never came out of my mouth. All I know is all these systems started right afterwards and have never went away. Thank You.

Hi, dear
i can say thai is is propably related with functional bowel problems after abortion.
It means that there is no organic relation betwen abortion and IBS but all you feeling , your stress after abortion are probably related with functional bowel problems.
related to your hiperacidity you start the treatment with anti-acids or with OMeprazole.
Acidity can mimic symptoms of IBS.
please avoid stress as it possible and take care of food.

All the best
