Hi all. I've had an issue with bloating. Bloating that hasn't gone down for over a year. I look pregnant it's so big and round. The doctors can not seem to find what is wrong and there being no chance that it's good related as I have no pain, bowel issues or discomfort. I'm terrified that something more serous has been missed. The doctor are at a loss and have pretty much left me to deal with it. I've heard so many scare stories on misdiagnoses, could this be possible? Many thanks x

  • Hello LauraLC,

    I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you don’t feel that your problems are being diagnosed properly. Unfortunately, on the diagnosis you've had, only a doctor can diagnose you.  If you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor you may want to consider getting a second opinion you can find out more about this here.  

    I hope you find the reassurance you need,
