Suggest Remedy For Pressure On The Diaphragm
I have had trouble with my bowels. I eat food and it seems to get trapped in the small intestine. It then creates pressure on my diaphragm, which interferes with my breathing. I have had both endoscopy and colonoscopy 6 weeks ago. Each time I eat food I have the same problem over and over again, forcing me to use laxatives. I have seen 4 different doctors and they don t seen have a clue what the problem is. Ive lost 7 lbs. in the last 6 weeks.

Hello,
There are 2 main problems I realize in your case:
1. possible candida infection of your bowels
2. IBS
So, better get some tests for candida (culture of oral swab and culture of stool for candida) to rule it out. Meanwhile, try to take probiotics and antacids with simethicone.
All the best. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
