Publisher's Synopsis
I have been a bloated stomach sufferer for many years. There was a point I simply had enough! My investigation started. The result? This book and no more bloated stomach for me! Sure, you can buy plenty of medical books about a bloated stomach, written by doctors, but a book written buy a sufferer is focused a lot more on the practical side of things so that's what you'll find in this book: not much boring theory but lots of practical information for sufferers. Having a bloated belly is a common symptom for most people. When the condition is not serious or abnormal, you will feel bloating or heaviness in your stomach during a festive season or after a fun weekend. Then, a simple antacid tablet can cure your condition. But, for some unfortunate people, bloating is a lot more serious and can cause sleep apnoea and extreme discomfort. The first step towards finding a cure for your condition is to thoroughly understand the causes and symptoms. When you know why your body reacts in a certain way, you can think of several home remedies to deal with it as well. The only thing that we can say about this condition is that the description provided by people who suffer from this condition is very consistent. However, not everyone is able to accurately describe the symptoms. "Feeling pregnant or looking pregnant" "Feeling the presence of a blown up balloon in the stomach" "Sudden swelling or distension of the abdomen before their eyes" "Clothes becoming tight around the waist at a certain time of the day", or "No more symptoms after a good night's rest" These are the common statements that you will hear from people who are suffering from abdominal bloating. As a bloated stomach sufferer, I have investigated to find a way to feel more comfortable without medication. This book is a compilation of all the information that I have gathered over the years. It contains experiences by individuals with recurrent bloating. There are also several home remedies that I have learnt from my peers, tried and recorded in this book. You also have various signs and symptoms that will help you recognise the condition early and seek assistance. The biggest problem with this condition is that it is considered to be to ordinary and mild with no need to pay any attention to it. It consists of all the information right from the pathophysiology to simple tips that you may try for better digestion and also for more relief from the condition. I have also shared tips to help you understand the symptoms better. The book has excerpts from several tests that have been conducted to understand this condition in greater detail. The main objective of this book is to help you identify your condition. Trust me, when you know what is happening in your body, you feel hopeful for a cure. I have also shared all the common remedies that are suggested and also some unique ones that my friends have tried. I expect this book to be a one stop solution to all your questions about bloating. I know that everyone with this condition is always trying to learn more and even has the urge to constantly meet people and talk to them about the condition. There is always a lot to explore about this rather interesting and less studied condition. It is a compilation of all my personal experiences and I really hope that you find some motivation to hang on till you get better. With a little knowledge and effort, you definitely will.
