Anyone have chronic non-poop related symptoms?

I've had painful "bloat" of varying degrees for 10 months. Also intermittent sting-like pain in the sides.
Anyone have the same?

  1. I get a lot of wind, which is embarrassing but talking about it in detail on a site like this does actually help me come to terms with it and feel less embarrassed about it when around friends or family, for some reason.

    Don't you hate it when you have wind and people tell you to go to the bathroom? Often when I'm farting I have actually already been to the bathroom and don't need to go again, it's just air and nothing else in my tummy!
    But in some evenings when I get gassy my brother yells at me to go to the bathroom before we watch any movies. I tell him that won't do any good because you can't really control when your farts come, one just comes every 10 minutes or so, at least it does for me.
    So often during movie nights I keep farting and there's nothing I can do except hold them in. But it's only my brother lol, I will fart around him.

    1. Siblings - love 'em and hate 'em! Ha! I have several brothers myself and you are right - they will razz you and tell it like it is, but they will also put up with it. Unfortunately I have found the same is not true for many of the relationships I've been in, but that's a whole other discussion! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
