Re: bloating cures
Hmmm... I am subscribed to this thread but got no notification of your reply. Checked my spam quarantine too and it's not there.
As to your problem, I am very hesitant to guess at what's going on but I can make a few suggestions that might help and certainly can't hurt you.
First of all, since it sounds like you do have some abnormal condition in the intestines, if I were you I would be sure I was eating some unpasteurized fermented foods every day. One of the best is natto. If you buy it frozen you just let it thaw, mix with minced scallion and some shoyu, and eat as a side dish. There are other ways to prepare natto but this is the simplest. Don't use the flavoring packet that you might find in the package, because it probably contains MSG, but the mustard is OK.
Also, find some unpasteurized sauerkraut or kimchee, or make pickles at home. Make sure your miso is unpasteurized and don't cook the life out of it.
If you're short on time and can't find the right fermented foods, get some probiotic capsules in a health food store.
Avoid cold drinks and cold foods until this condition clears.
A few miles of brisk walking every day would also be helpful. I don't mean use a treadmill. Get outside onto irregular terrain. Take off your shoes and walk with bare feet in the grass or on sand for a while if it's not very cold.
If you have access to a good TCM practitioner, have him or her check you out and give a diagnosis. Then you will at least know where your imbalances are. Liquid metabolism issues can be tricky and if this is enough to cause pain and concern then it's worth getting a checkup done by someone with a deeper understanding of oriental medicine.
Hope this helps.
