"Basketball belly", yes, that's a darn fine way to describe it. Sometimes I feel like the subject of a really bad SciFi story- the Incredible Expanding Belly. And I'm like you in that the bloat increases over the course of the day, no matter how much/ how little/ what time/ what order/ with water/ without water/ SFS/ no SFS/ fennel/ peppermint/ no herbs. Aiee!

I think my problem is I get bloated, which makes me miserable, which makes me eat and eat and eat
Yeah, I too sometimes feel like if I'm paying the penalty, I might as well enjoy committing the sin.
Part of the problem is that I've found it really difficult to nail down what "triggers" are for me. I was doing quite well with portion control, but then got quite sick and for several weeks I was happy to be able to choke down anything. Now I realize I have to get vigilant again about portion size, amount, etc, etc. (Gee, just in time for the holiday party season.  )
I'm just coming out of one of those miserable phases when you blow up if you drink a glass of water, let alone eat anything. That's what makes me think it ain't just about gas.
