I have recent come back to MFP and here to stick with it this time. But since I started exercising again every time I eat or drink something (even water) I start to feel bloated and then just gets worse through out the day. Any suggestions of how to stop it and has any one else had something like this??

    Ugh, that's me too. I cannot hande vegetable fiber very well, but of course that's mainly what I try to eat because it's low cal. A couple things that help me include using digestive enzymes (one called Yes to Beans is helpful for high fiber meals), taking a probiotic daily, and using betaine HCL with meals that contain protein. I've also had to eliminate apples and pears because they are the worst. Chewing food completely to a pulp helps as well. When I rush through a meal I bloat worse. Hope this helps!

    I get that, but I just attribute it to the radical change in diet all of a sudden.

    A food journal helps too, if you track what you are eating, you can see how you feel 10,20,30 minutes after and record it. After about a week look back and see what you ate and how your body reacted. I found out I was eating way too fast, too much white bread and a sudden diet change with too many high sulphur veggies ( cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli)

    Moderation, hydration and digestive enzymes helped big time, and slowing the eating down with a lot of chewing.
