How long till bloating goes away after ending medication?

My Doctor  gave me Align but it got me more bloated and I am going to see my long distant Fiance". I went off the align after 2 days since I then became 6 months pregnant lol...I'll try it again after my trip...That is the newest Probiotic and it has gotten GREAT reviews...Medication!!! Pain meds stomach meds...anxiety meds..

So tired of the entire ordeal.

So very not funny...I am embarassed and afraid to eat.

I am very little to begin with..5' 6" and 111 pounds.

I am widowed with 2 teenagers and I think that stress has SO MUCH to do with it.

I take probiotics...but it's been 2 weeks and I am depressed and have worked so hard these last months at the gym..putting on weight and getting strong...

Now I am afraid to eat...Maybe more water...

Thank you so very much for your kindness and suggestion..I will check out the site.

I checked out the site you gave me and it drffinitely seems great and so more less expensive than Align. I'm just afraid to eat now. Maybe I should cut out the dairy and just drink more water.

I thank you so very much for your response.

Just want my body back...not that's it's so terriffic but I am very sad and depressed about this. Can't even wear my clothes...

It just stinks!

Hopefully it will clear up.

Thank you yet again.

I can soooo relate.  I had constipation, digestive problems, bloating and gas for years.  It makes you feel horrible (not to mention looking pregnant). I still have ocassional times when it bothers me a little, but it doesn't usually last long – and I normally find that the reason is, I've forgotten to take my probiotics for a couple of days.

Another thing that has helped me with digestive problems is acupuncture.  Don't know if you've ever considered that, but I've been pleasantly surprised at the number of things it helps. 

Have you ever tried Activia?  I haven't but since eating yogurt has helped me with some stomach upsets in the past, I've thought about it. 

Again, I hope your problem clears up very soon.

I cut out dairy today.....totally.

That was making up almost 70% of my diet.

I also added a lot more water.

I think I am deffinitely continue with the water....

That's supposed to help EVERYTHING!

I will try a stronger probiotic when I get back from my trip...

The link that was sent to me looks really good.

I'm at the point where, it will go away, when it does.

Attitude is everything and if my  fiance'  finds me sexy and beautiful...

I have to just let that in and trust that I'll get better.

Between the pain and the different medications and their reactions can be such a frustrating and really anxiety producing road.

I can't afford acupuncture but I've heard it's really wonderful.

I also need to find a way to reduce my STRESS level....

That effects everything...I'm anerexic..but in a way that I just have no appetite.

I know I am VERY thin.....Widowed almost 3 years...

The Man I am involved with....our families were very close when we were growing up.

He said he has had a crush on me since I am 14 years old, but didn't feel it was proper.

It's a really, magnificent love story...I want my 16 year old to go off to college before I marry and move...I want her in her Dad's home.

It's very difficult dealing with 2 grieving demanding teenagers....

I'm determined to get better...

It is in my medical charts ..I just do better when I am with him.

My pain, my appetite, my stress.

I'm really beaten up by my girls at times and it is so stressful.

Thank you for sharing with me.

Hard to feel sexy with a big pregnant belly..

I'm 50 years old....soon it will be my time...

Always room for my kids...but to have some happiness come my way...

My health just suffers so much when I am taking care of everyone but me.

Thanks  so much again.

I just got the probiotic you suggested in the mail today.

I pray it will work for me, since nothing has so far. I told you my Gasto put me on Align but to no result.

How many do you take a day?

How long did it take to work?

I still look 3 months pregnant and at this point I am afraid to eat...

I am very skinny...I force myself.

Yet nothing fits me as my belly is so bloated and extended.

I damn the day I went on that nuerontin and Myrolax...

It just has added to my stress and pain.

Thank you so very much.....from my heart.

I really hope the probiotic works well for you.  I started with two a day but now am just taking one each day.  If I remember correctly, it seems like it took a couple of days before I noticed much.  Then for two or three days, I spent a lot of time in the bathroom as it seemed to clean out my system.  After that things started working normally, which is something I had never really experienced before.  But if I forget to take it for a couple of days, I usually have to go through the clean-out period again to get back to normal.  I seem to really need the probiotic to keep things functioning as they should.  Let me know how you do with it. 

Thank you so much. I hope it will work for me.

It's very depressing to have my body betray me more than it already has, but

medications can do havoc on anyone's system.

I will keep you posted.

So glad you have worked out a routine for yourself.

Thanks again.

I've been on the probiotic for 8 days.

There is no difference.

I look like I have a basketball on my stomach....and I am so thin.

I am afraid to eat.

Maybe I am taking too much....or not enough...

I am totally stressed out by this.

I really don't want to go on an antibiotic but I know that is what my Gastro said if it

the probiotic didn't help.

I had to buy big shirts to cover my extended and pregnant looking belly.

Very frustraing.
