Gas and Bloating

چکیده
What's the Problem, and How Do You Diagnose It? Many HIV+ people develop problems with gas and bloating. Diagnosis is simple: ask yourself if you are experiencing more than the usual gas (flatulence, farting) or feeling an uncomfortable pressure in your abdominal area that comes and goes. Know that it is considered normal for the average person to expel a reasonable amount of gas approximately 14 times every day. However, this would usually be relatively unnoticeable. In many HIV+ people, especially those on protease inhibitors, there can be frequent and very smelly gas. Some people will also feel very bloated at times, sometimes to a point that is quite uncomfortable. Even those not on HAART may experience gas and bloating that is much worse than in their pre-HIV lives.
