Bloating is a tough one but I have found these things help: -drink plenty of water (try to get to 100 oz a day) -exercise everyday -take a soluble fiber supplement like acacia -eat smaller portions more often (don't let yourself get too hungry) -stay away from straws and gum -eat slowly and above all, drink fennel tea (I mix mine with a little peppermint) before dinner and after too and drink several cups altogether through afternoon and evening also make sure to go to the bathroom when you have the urge. Gas and bloat can just be your body telling you to go -some of the time. Good luck!
-------------------- 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!
