I have suffered from truly dreadful bloating on and off for 30 plus years which is painful, urelenting, wrecks the look of a great outfit and can be really depressing.

It's been called spastic colon, IBS, food sensitivity...you name it. But there is no ryhme or reason to it - it just comes and goes. sometimes I can eat anything and the tummy is as flat as a pancake and other times (like now) it just swells up and cramps no matter what I do.

Therefore, I have decided it might be hormonal and so along with my menopausal symptoms I am hoping it will disapear now I have started using my 'LadyCare' magnet thingy (please see the recent posting on 'Menopause') I will let you know how I get on although it can take up to 3 months to work apparently.
