My stomach is bloated and when I press on it, you can hear a lot of liquid (i think it's liquid) washing around in thereIt literally sounds like my belly is a water bed or balloon with water in itAnd there's no way I am retaining waterI drink plenty! could it be an electrolyte imbalance? could swallowing lots of mucus cause this?? what is this? i've had it for a long time
good idea i never known it to rust
NoI bet my life it won'tI have done it beforeIt is galvanized.
Do you suffer from other symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation or stomach cramps? If so you might have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or another conditionYou need to go to a doctor who will take you seriouslyWith IBS, your brain doesn't control the contractions of your intestines properlyEither it contracts too often (resulting in diarrhea) not enough (constipation), or a combination of bothMany people experience painful crampingThis is made worse by stressIf things are passing too quickly through you, your bowel can't suck out enough water and you get water retentionIt doesn't matter how much you drinkIt might help if you take soluble fibre before mealsThis will slow things down and hopefully allow your bowel to suck out the excess water Swallowing air can also carry through to your bowel and cause bloating, although it sounds more like it is liquid rather than trapped gas that is causing your problemThis happens to people who chew a lot of gum, eat quickly without chewing properly or talk while they eatEdit: insoluble fibre (fruit, vegetables, wholegrains) may also help, depending on the individualHowever many people with IBS find that it makes their symptoms worse and have to take a soluble fibre supplement so that they can digest these foods.
No It's not trueWhen I put foil into a bag for re-cycling, usually it is rusty when I put it out for collection.
