I have a sensitive question

kerrilucko

I am feeling so bloated and big today. I didn't over eat by much yesterday, splurged on a couple cookies but otherwise nothing different... Monthy time is nowhere in sight and I have been drinking my water as usual. I get about 18-25 g of fibre in a given day, and most of that comes from fruits and veggies and cereal... I drink 6-10 glasses of water everyday. Is there anything that is specifically good to eat for bloating and constipation? I don't know what's wrong with me but I couldn't possibly feel any worse. thanks in advance

A few people on here have suggested magnesium for constipation.

It's nasty, but a shot of apple cider vinegar really helps lose some of that stubborn water weight. :sick:

Thanks guys, I just don't have any laxatives in the house and the nearest store is a 40 minute walk through snow away so thats a no... my guy has the car at work.

You are a Canadian !! A 40 minute walk in the snow is nothing, :laugh: you should be doing that in your shorts and sandles!! Oh wait, you have lost 51 Lbs of insulation ... maybe it would be a little cool after all.:drinker:

Seriously though I hope you feel better!

Hot water with lemon??? Keep that up until you clear / debloat???
Always works for me...
Good luck
:flowerforyou:

Btw... you have SNOW in Manitoba? Friends in Winnipeg said no snow yet for them. Here in Toronto it's 18-20 degrees! My kids were outside in shorts today!

Winnipeg is 9 hours south of where I am. We're kind of between there and Churchill. I'd say we've got 5 or so good inches right now. :grumble: Oh how I miss Toronto! :frown:
And thanks for the advice, I will try that for sure!
