Daily Bloating?

AAL94LBB

I noticed that I bloat throughout the day, everyday. When I wake up I'll have a [nearly] flat stomach, but by mid afternoon and especially into the evening my stomach will be 2-3x the size..

Does anyone else have this problem too? It happens all the time, not just when it's TOM time.

I recently started taking pro-biotic pills everyday, as I read that can help, but does anyone else have any advice? :S

How much grains do you consume? Could you have a wheat allergy? Is your condition accompanied with gas? Diarrhea? Go talk with your doctor and see what she says!

I had that before I was diagnosed with Celiac but it's only one of many possible symptoms. Definitely worth checking with your doctor!

I did until I started eating gluten free.

It could also be too much sodium, not enough water, drinking carbonation, eating excess carbs, etc. It doesn't have to be something serious. I got bloated by midday every day until I started eating fresher and drinking more water. Now I only get bloated when I eat a big bowl of spaghetti (or two).

Milk, yogurt, and other dairy products are also infamous for causing bloat

I like this fiber/laxative to normalize a reactive gut:
drnatura.com Get their fiber and laxative tea
Everyother fiber I have tried was harsh/pathetic/ineffective, but this is soothing and gentle.

I was actually tested for Celiac probably close to two to three years ago. I was also on a gluten free diet for a couple years. About a year ago though they invented this pill you can take that allows you to eat gluten, even if you have a sensitivity. I stopped taking the pill probably six months ago or so. I guess I'll have to try that again and see if it works!

I also do eat a yogurt everyday too...hmm. I drink lactose free milk.

i have the same problem ever since i was diagnosed with h pylori last year my stomach hasnt been the same (it was treated and the virus is gone) i take align everyday and also gas x really helps with the bloating.. i also think im sorta lactose intolerant so cutting dairy out seems to help

I have this same problem, but haven't gone to the dr for it. I think I'm going to give a run of cutting out dairy and going gluten free for a couple of months to see if that will make a difference.

For me, not enough water will cause me to bloat (or retain water). I'm finding I need 10-12 cups of water per day to avoid bloat.
