Thank you for all of your advice, even though I was hoping never to have to ask for your help again :( After finding out which food i'm allergic to, everything came back to normal, no bloat, no stomach pain, no nothing. It took a few days for my stomach to get back to its normal size for the first time in 5 months, and…

Thank you for all your kind comments and advice.

Thank you :smile: The thing is, I almost never eat processed... My diet consist of fresh fruit and vegetable, whole grains, fish and eggs... The only thing that seemed to have changed in my diet around the time I started to bloat is I was eating a little more bread and cheese. I was recovering from being afraid of certain…

Wow, thank you so much for all your encouraging and quick answers !! This is so reassuring. If I may ask : what do you mean exactly by heavy lifting ? Should I be replacing my dumbells by heavier ones (In France we have 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, 4kg and my boyfriend owns 5kg ones I could borrow), or are we talking heavier ? I started…
