    Eat foods high in protein and fibers! I eat popcorn, which has carbs, put also fiber. I do not eat pasta and rarely potatoes. We do not really eat bread either, but if you are going to eat those things, get the whole wheat variety. Eat lots of fruits, they fill you up and lean meats. I also eat Kashi foods, they have carbs, but are all natural carbs, and they have both protein and fiber. I eat Kashi go lean cereal daily and LOVE it! One cup fills me up from breakfast to lunch!

    fats and proteins keep my energy up, but they do very little to keep me feeling full.

    Fiber keeps me feeling full. Broccoli, apples, etc. It's still carbs, but I don't know that they necessarily bloat me.

    fish, seafood, beans, lower carb veggies (not corn, potatoes) go for colorful. Stay away from prepared or processed "food" if at all possible.

    Any non-carb stuff :) I know it seems crazy - but I am eating very limited carbs and I am soooo full! You wouldn't think so, but if you give your body a couple days to get used to eating non-carbs and you will really be surpised by how full you actually are and you DON"T CRAVE the other junk or carbs. Just a thought - but it has worked wonders with me and I am losing weight fast!

    I'm a low carb eater 98% of the time. I do not eat potatoes/rice/bread/corn or any other starches like them because as you - they bloat me too much, give me migraines, nervous/edgy, acid reflux and I feel absolutely terrible. If you are going to replace or add, there's always natural peanut butter on a low sodium rice cake with a cup of tea or decaf coffee, soft boiled eggs with mayo, pickles, mustard, celery, taco salad without the shell... and there are so many more.
    I guess I'm allergic to high carb foods. I've been tested for celiac disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, gluten allergies, and you name it, and have gone to several drs and dieticians, but they can't find anything wrong.
    I know what makes me sick, and it's food loaded with carbs.
    I only have them once in a while and have to take a prilosec before or else...
    Good post. Good luck!
