Any tips for when you're feeling bloated, and you're semi hungry, but you feel like your stomach looks like you're 8 months pregnant so you feel like you shouldn't eat????:laugh:

    Drink some water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. Give it about a half hour, and it will help a lot with the bloating. If you're hungry and you have the calories left, go ahead and eat, but keep it low in salt.

    If it's around my period and I'm bloated I'll take a pill that combats bloating. It's a diuretic so you have to be careful with it but it works wonders.

    Which one? I'll need one in about 2 weeks!

    I can't see what the name is but I know it has 50mg of Pamabrom in it. I got it at CVS. I wanna say something like Diurex or something like that.

    Just kidding, I found the name. It's called Aqua-ban.

    I have read in multiple places that eating a banana will help beat the bloat as well. I try to eat one every day as it is but I make extra sure to do it when I'm feeling extra water-retentive! What the above poster said about water, too! Flush it out! :D

    Interesting you say that... I realized that yesterday and today are the first days in a LONG time that I didn't eat a banana!:wink:
