Most people would say (and I remember a time) when after dropping major pooping their stomach is flat, like they lost 5 lbs LOL, im just the opposite now! My stomach is not quite flat but after I go it's like everything swells up inside take about half hour to feel comfortable again , gut goes down and not in pain. It's like pooping creates a inflammation response or something. Any experience this?


I just want my scope done soon!!! I want to ease my mind of a few things, I've had inflammation for 12 years!!!!!

No, not inless I'm flaring, although not that big.

When was your last scope?

Stool testing might be in order as well?

Maybe it's SIBO! I'm going to try and rotate antibiotics

Are you having other signs of SIBO? may be worth looking into.......awhile back during my "refusal to accept diagnosis of UC" period I was certain I had it, too.

I had a puffed up belly almost ALL the time and was burping like crazy all day long I seemed. I decided I had SIBO and used wild oregano oil caps for 2 weeks on, then a week or so off, the 2 weeks on.

At the end of this all the gas and burping was gone and I started a probiotic regimen just in case I killed a lot of the good guys, too.

I have never gotten the burping back, but now and then I think I do have more bloating than I should. And I had a colonoscopy yesterday and after the prep my tummy was insanely flat. Not really sure how much of that is normal.....but 9 months pregnant definitely sounds like a lot of gas.
