I'm having really bad bloating and gas. Like the kind that doesn't want to leave my body and is super painful. Not sure what's going on. I am vegan btw.

    Do you have some Enos? Works like a charm

    Spose you eat alot of beans, lentals and that weird processed meat flavoured vegan stuff ?
    All likely to cause bad gas.

    Do you have a problem with vegans?

    Can't speak for the pp but I have no problem with vegans, but it's true.

    Simethicone works wonders. Same stuff that's in infacol.

    Are you a new vegan? If you've recently upped the fiber in your diet suddenly, that might be the problem. But, yes. Go see a doctor.

    If I eat lentils two days in a row I get painful gas. One day I'm fine, two days and I'm crying.

    There's a vegan version of beano, can't remember what it's called though. Still baffles me why they would put animal products in something most likely to be wanted by people trying not to eat animals.

    I have that issue around ovulation and before TOM. I also end up looking 5 months pregnant. I think it might be related to my ovary cysts, actually.. it's really a LOT of bloating and water retention.

    You're probably eating something that doesn't agree with you. There's several vegetables I can't eat because they make me explode...broccoli, cauliflower, kale, onions, cabbage, ect...Google gas causing vegetables

    I put a heating pad on to make it all go away. And drink chamomile tea.

    I've been vegan for 4 or 5 months, but this just started since I started calorie counting a few days ago. The weird thing is that I am not eating anything different than I was before, just less of it, and I haven't been eating chips, candy, cookies, etc.

    I tried a heating pad last night and it worked great. I'll pick up some peppermint tea. Hopefully this is a temporary problem.

    Oh, my fiber intake has been around 35-40 a day, which is pretty normal for me and should be ok, right?

    add plenty of fresh chopped dill to your vegetable dishes and soups. Adds a nice flavor and helps with gas evacuation

    Grate some fresh ginger, boil and drink as tea (with or without sugar).

    They are called fodmaps. Some people have a condition in which they need to be careful about eating too much and temporarily need to limit them. Monash University Low Fodmap Diet App is helpful.

    OP, this is just my experience. I was overtreated with antibiotics. I didn't know it had caused a malabsorption disorder. I was injured by another med (just adding this for context).I was having over reactive histamine reactions to foods. I went vegan. But, those were the foods I malabsorb. I became very sick. My situation is unusual. But sharing just in case. I had to stop eating grains, starches, fodmaps. But, often this is temporary just to recover. Along with adding good fermented foods like kefir (you might be able to find or make a vegan version) and sauerkraut. And making sure to get a lot of soluble fiber from the low fodmap fruits and veggies.
