Bloating and itchiness

K1tt

Does anyone else suffer with this or have any suggestion what causes it? I try to eat healthily, but often at the end of the day my previously loose clothes are tight and my feet and legs are itchy. Tonight it's driving me mad. I'm type 2 diabetic if that makes a difference, any thoughts welcome.

I think you should ask a doctor.

This sounds allergy related, but I am not a doctor so you should check and maybe try to get a referral to an allergist. I have a polllen allergy which was declared to having cross affects with eating fruit. The allergist suggested microwaving fruit for 30 seconds which apparently breaks down the protein which typically causes the allergical reaction.

Itchy legs and feet my be related to neurological problems associated with the diabetes too. Best check with a doc.

possible gluten intolerance? celiacs is known to cause rashes/itchiness and severe bloating. could be any allergy or sensitivity. going to the dr is your best bet, and an elimination test to see what is triggering the reaction.

Not drinking enough water makes my skin a little itchy. Took me ages to figure this out

Bloating could be a lot of things - Too much fibre in your diet not enough water?

How much water are you consuming a day?

I notice if I eat lots of bread, pasta, rice - Carbs basically my belly bloats and I can look pregnant.

Do you consume lots of white starchy carbs?

Try and get a mixed diet of brown seeded bread, fruit, veg, protein, lots of water etc!!

Green tea/peppermint tea is suppose to be good for bloating.

Itchiness - I have never experienced this - Consult your local doctor and get it checked out to be clear : )

Good luck x
