Getting super bloated after going hours without eating??

kaitbannonrun

Hey guys hoping i could get some help with this but I'm a 20 year old who's fairly active and always on my feet so that means I carry around snacks with me. I have my normals meals as well but problem is I've been noticing every time I go just a few hours without eating when im hungry, I get super bloated when I do finally eat something and I know its a normal thing to get bloated after eating but this is more of an uncomfortable bloat and it leaves me puffy. This usually only happens when I wait an hour or a while to eat when I'm hungry which is why I need snacks with me but sometimes I don't always them with me so I have to deal with the hunger. anyone else experience this?

Ive experienced this too!! But for me its after longer periods of not eating. Hoping someone can give some insight on why its happening

If I go for too long without eating for some reason I know I need to slowly sip a full glass of water first before eating. Gulping it too quickly adds air to the gut, too, so I take it slow even if I'm really hungry. I have IBS though, so not sure if this is helpful or not.
