For about 8 month now I've suffered from a bloated stomach.
On a morning I wake up, and my stomach is flat, as soon as I eat, my stomach sticks right out, I can actually look like i'm pregnant.. it's really getting me down.

I have exams at University, and when it's quiet my stomach makes the weirdest noises. It growls and I can feel the air or gas moving around in my stomach. I had to leave in th middle of my exam in the summer because it got so bad, I was very upset.

It seems like a vicious circle for me, as I am trying to cut out carbs such as pasta and bread (foods that are harder to digest) but when i'm hungry, my stomach will actually growl and growl and growl until I eat something that fills me quickly.

I'm guessing this is what is causing my problems.

I got the implant (implanon) a year ago and I have heard this can cause bloatedness and mess up diet, but I'm not sure..


Could this be IBS? Or anything similar?

Thanks
