OK I drink alot of water, alot! :drinker: It's actually all I drink, even when I wasn't watching what I was eatting. I don't take caffeine, I do have a few glasses of wine some days (4 ounces each and I measure them) I can't figure out why I'm soooo bloated? I have really increased my fiber intake and eat alot of veggies, could that be it? Will my body ever adjust?

    How much sodium are you taking in? Do you log your calories on here? If so, look at your report. You shouldn't be taking in more than 2500 mg a day. Sodium causes your cells to suck in water. However, I read a 'Red Carpet Tip" that the stars use...eat a banana. Potassium does the opposite of sodium and draws water out of your cells.

    Yes...Fiber does bloat you. I have also noticed that carbohydrates bloat me as well. A low carb diet helps me curb the bloating.

    Thanks for the site. I think it is the fiber. I'm over everyday for the past 3 days :happy: I'll just wait it out and see if it passes. I do need the fiber for digestion!

    I may eat a bannana a day, today my sodium isn't over, but the past 2 days it has been. I've only been on MFP for a toatal of 6 days, I think my body will get used to the fiber within a week or two, I hope.
