Oh, I know that feeling!! First thing to try when you're eating, is to eat slower. Take small bites, chew them well before swallowing, maybe pause between bites. My hubby is trying to slow down his eating habits too. This may not be an issue for you, but if you DO tend to eat fast, then your stomach fills up before your brain realizes it. By eating slowly, you tend to realize when your stomach is starting to get full, and you can stop before you eat too much.
Also, I always keep gas-x in the house. Not necessarily that brand...I just look for whatever brand has the highest amount of simethicone in it. I also try to drink a cup of hot tea before and/or after a meal....usually either a peppermint/fennel tea, or I just got Stomach Ease from Yogi teas, and that's real good. Ginger tea is really good if you like the taste...Stomach Ease has ginger, peppermint & fennel in it, so I drink that. The only other thing you can try is heat. Sometimes I'll run a hot bath & take my hot tea in with me, and the heat will help some. Or try a heating pad.
Bloating/fullness is one of the hardest symptoms to treat I think! Good luck & let us know if you find anything else that helps!
