I find it really frustrating that even when I'm losing, I still look 7 months bloomin' pregnant! It doesn't matter what foods I eliminate, everything I eat bloats me up like a balloon. I'm going to go back to my GPs as its getting silly now and nothing I've tried helps, mint tea, mint capsules, anti bloat tablets etc
Anyone else in the same boat?

    Have you looked in to eliminating high FODMAPs?

    I suffer from bloating too, mainly IBS issues but I find if I take senna a few times a wk it helps control it.

    Yeah but it's soo restrictive plus anytime I try eliminating anything I don't notice any difference!

    If you fully restrict all high FODMAPs for 1-3 months, I feel like you'll see a difference. It took 10 weeks of me eating low fodmap religiously to feel any difference!
