bloat. Push the brace. Wow it's uncomfortable. Lots of sound and fury. And then some. Nothing else so far.

Pain? Stress? Not food. I don't think I ate anything that could do this. I am not taking pain meds. Is it worth toughing it out when this is happening in spite of?

Lesley,

Extra pressure on a bloated gut is not good — there has to be adequate room or it can even interfere with breathing, by restricting diaphragm function. If you don't have enough adjustment available, you may need a larger size, to allow for the bloating. :shrug:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I have plenty of "wiggle room" Tex. I have loosened t enough so that the pressure isn't making it even more uncomfortable than it is.
You know, when I am constipated it the pressure makes my back worse. That's the way it has been with it up to now, and with the fx it's only worse.

NOT fun!
