Stomach Bloat and Ribavarin?
« on: August 28, 2015, 08:15:40 pm »
Does anyone have any information on how to help with bloated stomach.  Its  really bad.  I am on Lasix which is prescription water pill. It has helped with the body swelling, but the bloat is back. I could up the dose?  It could damage my kidneys.  My kidneys are tested every two weeks.  Is any one taking anything over the counter to help with bloat/gas.  Its getting really hard to live with.  Any advice much appreciated. BTW-my HEP  doc is useless when it comes to asking for help with side effects.  I have been reading on other sites that psylium fiber  works?
