Is there something wrong with me?

IS it up high in your stomach or lower in your intestinal area - the bloat that is.

From my belly button down

That sounds intestinal - not stomach-related to me.

I think you should do what Velvett is saying - make some diet-related changes and see if that helps in the next 2-3 weeks.

Well, that's easier to fix.

Drop gluten and dairy for 2-3 weeks, check that you are getting enough fat in your diet, especially if you are not "regular", dairy free acidophilus and a digestive enzyme prior to eating should be a good start.

Followed by a good mini detox diet and cleansing program should help you out.

*** This suggestion is based on my personal experiences with similar problems and what has worked for me. I would suggest consulting a nutritionist, homeopath or your primary care doctor for a professional opinion as well.

Hi! I hope this acn be a bit of help...Lacrose intolerance is not about dairy...IT IS the sugar in the milk and other foods.
It is the hidden intolerance that may be causing the harm....
* bread and other baked goods
* processed breakfast cereals
* instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks
* margarine
* lunch meats (other than kosher)
* salad dressings
* candies and other snacks
* mixes for pancakes, biscuits, and cookies
* powdered meal-replacement supplements

IMO you should listen to Vel's advice...

8am before eating

10 minutes after eating Cream of Wheat

End of day

Well that looks familiar...
That's how mine started eventually it was from the top of my stomach down.

Honestly I would drop the dairy, gluten and sugar (including fruit) for 2/3 weeks and get an appointment with someone that can test you for food allergies and food sensitivities.

Try not to eat anything that comes out of a box or container.

Thanks for posting that for me Bunny, that was really nice of you. And I am going to try vel's advice, it's so wierd because I've always had this but I never thought anything of it, so now I have hope of having a flat stomach through out the day and not just in the morning
Vel what did you eat when you took all that stuff out because it seems like everything has gluten or dairy in it
Thanks again everybody you've all been a ton of help!

I know.
It's crazy.

I eat spinach bread the recipe is in the recipe thread near the end - it's basically spinach and eggs), chicken, fish and eggs - occasionally red meat, most veggies (tomato and onion are your friends - goes with everything), I think you can still get away with rice or sweet potato.

Also, don't go cold turkey - ween yourself off the first few days - every day eat one less meal that includes one of those items untill you have none.

Make sure you eat enough healthy fats (avocado, nuts, EVOO or coconut oil)
