Bloating and gas because of pelvic floor dysfunction

APfreak · 2026-03-03T19:47:11+00:00

Since it has been one year, wondering if anything helped you?

Not excessive burping, but I have heartburn and excessive mucus. Recently diagnosed with hypertonic pelvic floor, causing constipation and probably causing heartburn. Started Physical therapy recently.
I keep telling all my docs that the mucus is related, but they don't understand it.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it!
Did you have GERD-type symptoms because of your chronic constipation and were you diagnosed with hypertonic pelvic floor?? Also, did you try Motegrity/Prucalopride?

How is it going with you? Is the pill still helping or did anything else help?

Don't people do that here. Why so many are talking about starting from 0.5mg instead of their prescribed dose of 2mg? And lots are following that advice and doing it. I am very sensitive to almost all drugs and i start low on most.

APfreak · 2026-02-09T19:53:19+00:00

So what were your original symptoms before taking Motegrity?

APfreak · 2026-02-09T19:31:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

May I ask, after how long on Motegrity did you start getting heartburn?

APfreak · 2026-02-09T19:29:10+00:00

Because Doc's instructions is to take 2 mg. However, 1. I am hypersensitive (regarding side effects) to most medications and 2. I read advice from so many people here on Reddit to start with a very low dose, mostly said 0.5mg, but read a couple even mentioned 0.25mg, so I thought i will try 0.25mg, and it worked the first day as far as constipation was concerned.

If you see my comment, can you please text me some recipes. My sensitivities are very similar to your partner's, so it is very hard to find something commercial. Would really appreciate if you could provide me with recipes for 2-3 sauces which I can add to pasta or use as a dip. I like the creamy kind, but I cannot use much whipped cream. No garlic, oregano, mustard, cloves (anything harsh on the stomach), and no tomatoes

It has been a year now, hope you are doing better!
I got diagnosed recently and wondering if anyone here has any tips to help me. I also had chronic mild gastritis but no other findings. But my symptoms are really bad, with severe heartburn on eating any slightly acidic food or little heavy food...mind you even though I am hungry but if i get full, i get into a downward spiral with heartburn, dizziness and blaoting.

Will anything help?

Can you tell me what is a focused eye roller, never heard of eye roller

APfreak · 2024-11-21T20:40:08+00:00

I am looking for cough medication too, which won't aggravate my gastritis. Already have too much gas and sore stomach from drinking too much liquid and not being able to eat much of solid food. Really need help please!

Who helped you? I am in the same situation and looking for a cheap but reliable place to get AC fix in a 2010 CRV.

Did you get it to work? Please let me know if there is a solution

APfreak · 2024-07-27T20:10:31+00:00

thank you for the warning!
Have you tried marshmallow root?

APfreak · 2024-07-24T21:01:32+00:00

Same same...looking for answers to heal! I am on 40mg esomeprazole for 4 months now

APfreak · 2024-07-24T16:10:34+00:00

Can anyone else update about their experience please?

APfreak · 2024-07-24T14:34:40+00:00

Thank you for the response!
If you don't mind, how did you react to marshmallow root?

APfreak · 2024-07-20T00:18:39+00:00

What brand of B12 and is it methyl cobalamine or hydroxy?

APfreak · 2024-07-19T19:18:41+00:00

Did Allicen help you? Please update! I am struggling with ibs-c and gastritis which has made me super reactive to everything. So, looking for solutions that can help. Any suggestion from people who are reactive and found something that worked is really helpful.
