How to get relief from bloating?
Does anyone know of a good remedy to help with bloating and constipation? I’ve heard green tea helps. Has anyone tried that? I’m desperate for help. I’ve tried gas pills, milk of magnesia, enemas, miralax, etc. and it keeps coming back. HELP!!! I started on Cymbalta 6 mos. ago and it helps with depression so much, but it seems that’s when my bloating problem started..Anyone had that happen?
The constipation appears to be caused by the Cymbalta having an effect on the bowel function or ability to sense peristaltic contractions. You should be taking a stool softener like Colace or the generic equivalent. You need to increase your intake of fiber and water. Increase your physical exercise by walking briskly, jogging or riding a bike 30 to 40 minutes per day 3 to 4 days per week.
I am constantly surprised by the number of doctors who don’t discuss possible side effects of medications with their patients and suggest things to do to prevent the side effects.
