I binged alittle late night before last on kettle chips and two lean pockets. Well, it's now two nights later and I am still super bloated! How long does it take to get rid of bloat from too much salt? Does anyone know? I drank lots of water yesterday. I haven't drunk a whole lot of water today, but yesterday I did.

    some people recommend drinking water with lemon juice in it. Have you tried that?

    For me it can take a few days. Watch out for sodium and carbs!

    Whenever I get super bloated whether it is because of TOM or just having a cheat day I make this recipe called "sassy water"
    The recipe calms your GI tract and banishes bloating!!!! and it's pretty easy to make.
    • 2 liters water (about 8 ½ cups)
    • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
    • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
    • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
    • 12 small spearmint leaves.
    Then you just let it sit over night and drink all of the water the next day.
    Last time a used this (which was last week) I lost 3 out of my 4lbs of water weight within 24 hours then lost the other the next day (because I was still peeing all the water... lol)
    Hope this helps! :)
