>It seems to center around my lower abdomen below the navel and on both sides. I wake up in the am (feel horrible) have a BM and my stomach is relatively normal, but if i press on it there is trapped gas there always. 2 hours later everything balloons, every single day. I have trapped gas that never ever goes away, even after passing gas (it never smells bad), i'm still bloated. And I'll go 3-4 times a day but still feel constipated.

>So what protozoa does this sound like?

Its not easy to tell which protozoa you have if you have it...
Are you in USA? You might want to do a siginoidoscopic examination with mucosal scraping and also stool tests... I can't say which lab is best for stool tests because I haven't been able to find a good lab in USA but Dr Kevin Cahil does siginoidoscopic examination and he has detected parasites for a number of people in this forum...

All the best
