Drinking more water i'm kinda feeling more bloated that normal? I'm not drinking soda or any type of food that would cause bloating - is this the norm?

    If you're eating foods that are high in sodium your body will hold on to the water. Maybe that's why?

    Higher sodium intake, hormones (especially related to the menstrual cycle), new or increased exercise, stress, sleep...all of these will cause water retention.

    Also if you're drinking it all at once in big servings that could make you feel a bit more bloated.

    Yes, it is normal at first. In a few days your body will adapt to the increased hydration.
