What Causes Bloating, Constipation And Flatulence?

hELLO. I am a 48 year old woman, currently in hospital detox, I have drunk heavily for 25 years. I have had black poos for over 6 months, no trace of blood in my poos, by a sample taken. I have a hdl colesteral of 4.1, which my specialist has never in 25 years come across, so I started googeling. Hdl colesteral of that height is counter peractive to clearing the arteries. I also am overweight, at 79 kilos, and have inflammation problems, of fibromyalgia. I have bloating often, and constipation, and flatulence many times a day. I have had a high bread diet, and have in the last month changed to gluten free diet, and no preservatives, and now, after detox, 90 percent no sugar. 2 bottles of red wine have definitely given me a high sugar intake that s for sure. My mums mum died of heart disease at 52. I have pains around my heart and put that down to fibromyalgia, as I had a specialist ecg and everything was fine, also have had an ecg here in hospital and that was fine. I have at the moment, and have had pains on my chest wall and my dr said its fibromyalgia. My jaw hurts, and eyes sometimes, theres some kind of inflammation pain in my body around the muscles 24/7. My main concern though is the very hight HDL, and in reading, hight inflammation, I have not yet had a test to check the level of CRP, but have read that if the level is over 1.0 mg/1 I need to take many steps to lower it, so as not to have a heart attack. Nine years ago I was about to board a flight, and suddenly was rendered unable to use my arms and legs, and heart rate was through the roof , they kept monotering my in hospital, and after about 10 hours, discharged me, as I was able again to walk, and move arms and heart rate was normal. They put it down to an atypical migrane.

Hi,

Abnormal bowel habits are an indication for scoping to evaluate for potentially serious problems such as cancer. Helicobacter infection is a common cause of symptoms. There can be other infections such as giardia or amoebiasis but these cause more symptoms and are far less common. But all of them are diagnosed with scoping. Functional mobility issues are often due to diet and lack of exercise.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
