Forget about privacy issues for a second,😳

does anyone actually have experience with the dentists at the university clinic? Is it worth going there or should I skip?😕

I use the one over on Antonovich and it seems pretty decent!

I’ve spent the entire day scouring the internet trying to figure out what on earth is going on with me. To be honest, I’ve never really been a fan of milk or any other dairy products—never felt the need for them. But over the last two or three weeks, I started incorporating various dairy items into my diet just so I could mix them with all those cereals I'm taking to help improve my digestion. My digestion feels fine, but meanwhile, for the past two weeks, I’ve been looking like I’m seven months pregnant. Even today, I tried wearing one of those oversized tees everyone wears lately, and even then, I couldn't hide the bloating at all. And the worst part? I didn't make the connection to the dairy at all.
I’m honestly sitting here tearing up because my whole life has just become this endless cycle of digestive issues, bloating, and gas. I live with my boyfriend, and it’s already getting so awkward. I’m passing gas like... well, you know. I’m naturally quite slim—about 5'6" and 121 pounds—but now I’ve actually lost weight because I can barely eat anything without this whole thing blowing up on me.
Is this really it, guys? Is this the culprit?

Look, there are plenty of different things that can cause bloating. I've already dealt with a colonoscopy, tests for parasites and amoebas, and I've got H. pylori, which also causes bloating. Gastroenterology is a bit of a headache. Plus, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is known for bloating because the whole digestive tract moves too fast; those contractions basically trap air, and since the body doesn't absorb it properly, the gas gets way worse. It's a lot of stuff to sift through.

I’ll run the search once I'm actually in Germany this Monday. It’s being handled through a GP, though some random lab is processing the results—no clue which one. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm dealing with some serious bloating and gas issues lately. My blood work came back negative for a milk allergy, and right now I've just got an IBS diagnosis, but I really want to rule out lactose intolerance once and for all. Does anyone know where I can get tested for this in Chicago, and what kind of damage am I looking at price-wise? I think it’s that H2 breath test—kind of like the one they do for H. pylori. Has anyone here actually gone through it? Thanks a ton!
