I am sure it just seems like your arms are smaller. When I bloat it seems like my butt and thighs got huge! I gotta tell you be prepared to not get real far with bloating. It is almost incurable really. Please try to lower your goals to being not bloated most of the time. Really I don't want you to be too disappointed. Bloating is just that hard. I get bloated in streaks. I will be fighting it day after day for weeks and then feel pretty darn good for some weeks. Right now luckily I am in a good streak and hope it continues. But eventually I will get bloated again and probably for no fault of my own or seemingly no reason. YET it can be helped so much by just sticking to the diet, taking SFS and getting the gut to be happy. It cannot be helped by just focusing on bloating. As I said before it is not an entity in itself really. Drink fennel tea, take SFS and stay on the diet, avoiding all triggers, and you will see results with bloaitng as well as overall gut happiness. 
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
