First, make sure you are not chugging the water, as that will cause you to gulp air. If you are drinking it out of a sports bottle, maybe try drinking it out of a cup, so you'll gulp less air. Also make sure you are drinking it at room temperature. The water certainly should not be making you bloated. The ibs-related bloat we all suffer is generally from trapped gas, not from a full bladder. Water is a natural diuretic, so it should theoretically cut down on bloating. Also consider replacing some of your plain water intake with fennel tea, which is effective against bloating. All fluid counts as water, even tea, so this will not add to how much water you already need to drink. You have mentioned that you are trying to put on weight. I am wondering if you are taking any supplements that might be causing you to bloat, such as a protien shake or bar or something? Check the ingredients carefully.
