Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Bloated and Gassy 24/7

The only quick fix is fennel tea. Try it before meals and before the bloating gets worse-i.e. most people get worse after lunch so drink the tea before lunch and take 2 pep caps too for good measure. Preventing bloat is better than treating it.
Prevention methods: (these are about all we have until medicine comes up with a good bloating cure)
no naps
walk a lot
wear loose clothes (especially no tight high waists)
walk after eating
stand while eating
poo when you need to
pee when you need to (you'll need to a lot after all the fennel tea)
eat really often in small amounts
chew thoroughly, eat slowly!
don't use straws, chew gum or talk while eating
that is all I can think of
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!
