Low carb bloating

Just finished week one of a low carb diet. I've lost an inch and a half from my stomach and 2.5lbs (yay!!) but I've had terrible bloating. Is this normal and if it is will it ease off? Many thanks in advance

    I have never had that... are you drinking plenty of water?

    Yes I drink a lot of water. I thought it was strange as 'bad' carbs usually make you bloat and I've cut all of those out. Very odd!
