Oh, bloating...       04/03/05 05:04 AM Edit Reply Quote Suze Reged: 02/24/05 Posts: 30 Loc: Virginia is such a pain!!! I'm an A, and I bloat whether I'm in a C phase or a D phase. I'm fairly thin, but when I bloat, I can't fasten any of my jeans! I'm a size or two larger. And it hurts!! I hate it!! Probably 4 months pregnant is a good description. It has kept me from going out a few times because I can't fit into anything, and I'm so uncomfortable. Luckily, my DH is very understanding. I'm very active, and I do find exercise helps - the harder, the better. I've also had success with acacia fiber (I'm up to 12g a day) and fennel tea. Gas-X hasn't helped at all. IF is the usual culprit for me...right now I eat very little of it. When I try to gradually re-introduce it, I bloat. It's actually pretty funny, because I was a vegetarian for years, and now I can't eat most vegetables! I think the bloating is worse than either the D or the C! Good luck figuring out what works for you! I think the key is being disciplined enough to change only one thing at a time, change it gradually, and give it enough time to see if it helps or not. I'm confident I'll get a grip on this eventually. And following the IBS diet has made me about 70% better - so I'm optimistic I'll get the other 30%. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
