Bloated Stomach

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Myrtle Beach, SC

It's been driving me crazy this bloated stomach which is as hard as a rock how do I get rid of it. I've been taking probiotics and Miralax and still have an issue. Anyone with some tricks that work and not affect medication. currently on @Stalevo & Mirapex ER. I read somewhere you not supposed to take antacids with it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I have a bloated tummy problem or feel like I'm 5 months pregnant but have somewhat normal Bms with meds and take probiotics and sauerkraut and other such things that are to help my microborm. So have just adjusted my clothes so my waist doesn't get so tight I feel like Im in a cinch as it can feel like that too often

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, yes I've heard that kumbucha is very good for bloating. I too get bloated a lot! I am now! DR Oz says it's good. I'm getting it! Thank your dear friend!

It sounds like you are retaining water and you need to contact your dr as to whaat is going o n. My belly isn't flat anymore and I look like I'm four months pregnant and my ribs show (my intercostal ribs) make me look like I'm a starving child in a third world country. Years ago I read that ones Parkinsons could affect them this way. You are describing something that would lead me to think your med needs to be changed. The shopaholic is not something wants for a drug to do to you
