    I am the same, 5 ft tall 98 lbs - you can actually see my dinner in my tummy from the bump LOL

    Refined carbs make me bloated eg white bread, white pasta, potato (more than a small baked potato and I puff out) oh and baked beans are not good to me!! lol

    I stick to wholemeal alternatives and sweet potatoes.

    A lot of people say too much sodium makes them bloat. Drink lots of water. I love green tea/peppermint tea which I think helps when you are actually bloated.

    Try cutting out wheat, milk based products and other different things because they may make you bloated. Cut one of them out 2 weeks at a time. If you see no change, move onto something else to cut out.

    I was going to suggest eliminating dairy for two weeks or wheat for two weeks as well, they seem to cause bloating for a lot of people.
