    i am always bloated... only at night really though. i think i have a mild intolerance to milk products especially the whey in protein. also when i eat out it gets bad.. i take two gas x every single night. it really helps and makes you feel better when you wake up and the pharmacist says that it is fine to take everyday.. i also take the probiotic align and that seems to help some

    Get rid of gluten from your diet. Just go clean for 3-5 days and reintroduce it. You will know almost immediately if this is what is triggering the bloat. Made a huge difference in my life! No aches, colds, sinus, tummy, crankiness etc. But this means soy sauces, many canned soups, etc. check ingredients including spices because wheat is often used as a filler for spices to reduce costs.

    good luck!

    yep with this answer, gluten can cause bloat in a big way (no pun intended)

    Is the bloating all the time? I'm not always bloated, but I do get quite bloated just before my period and again when I ovulate. It lasts for 3-4 days each time and weigh-ins around these times are frightening. Do you track sodium? Try to keep it below 2000 mg a day. If all else fails, go see a doctor about it.

    This is true for me too and I have to be extra careful about what I eat around my period. I try to reduce sugar and sodium intake drastically (which isn't great because my body craves those even more around my period), but if I don't I will be bloated and I'll even break out with a pimple or two.

    i know im getting older but i suffer from bloating , i drink plenty of water and get a lot of exercise , does anyone else suffer frpm this or know of a way to stop it , thanks ; )

    2Tbsp lemon juice to 3c water. That's how I drink ALL of my water. Lemon juice is a natural diuretic. You won't bloat from it and it helps get rid of the excess sodium. But try an keep your sodium way under as well.

    If you eat a lot of sodium you should try to eat foods with lots of potassium that day as it helps counteract the sodium
