Hi Guys,

Quick question, what do you guys take when you are "bloated" I am taking Miralax...but not really helping.... I emailed my team nurse..since it has been going on for about a week, I just was wondering what you guys do to fix things and get them running smoothly again...Of course I know a zillion different over the counter and prescription things that I can take.. I just wanted to know what works for you.... Kind of save me so time and money buying stuff that doesn't work.

Hi Jennifer,

Tums works well for me. Another thought is that maybe you need to tell your doctor so they can change your Pancrease strength. That made a huge improvement for me last year. I went from Pancrease MT 16 to Ultrase MT 20. Helped a lot.

Good non stop ballet or tap class does the trick for me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Anybody else with any other ideas...I already take Pancrease MT 20s ... I increased fluid intake as best as I could since I am so bloated eating is making me sick to my stomach...

Meg, If I could do non stop ballet or Jazz, I don't think I would have too many problems...

When you are saying your are bloated do you mean you are constipated? Is this from diarhea? If you are constipated try adding some olive oil to your meals(a little at first if you do not take it) I love kefir that I started drinking. IT is great for contipation. For me, I do not get constipated but it cleans you out. You can take a little magesium that helps you go. Try massaging your tummy starting under the belly button and going to the left toward your colon. You can start in the middle but the idea is to keep the flow toward the colon. You can press on the outside of your belly button is your belly button was a clock. You are looking down on it and start at twelve and go around by pressing into your skin and hold for a few seconds at each point. You might be in the bathroom in a few minutes. You can make a practice of this to keep you clean. Are you taking too many enzymes?
explain what you mean by bloated? Drink some water in small sips instead of gulping water
