Ugh, bloating!

cdavislynn

What are the top foods/drinks that cause you to have bloating? It seems like mine is so constant. It isn't like I am eating a ton of salt, or soda, or anything. I actually hate salty food. I drink lemon water, coffee, water, and eat pretty well. It drives me crazy. What do you guys do to prevent this or get rid of it?

Coffee can definitely cause bloating.  So do processed foods, not just ones that are high in sodium. 

Different foods can cause bloating in different people.  Also if you eat a lot of high fiber foods but you don't drink enough water, you can get constipated and bloated.

I'm just learning that dairy causes me horrible bloating. It sucks because I adore greek yogurt.

Edited to fix my stupid type-o - not a good idea to type with one hand while holding a glass of wine!

Ugh, yes. 

OP, Constant bloating can also be a symptom of a sensitivity (gluten, lactose, IBS, etc) as well.    I'd start paying close attention to when it's the worst and if you have any other symptoms that might indicate a sensitivity.

You're back J&K! I looked through your wedding pics you posted on SB. It looked like it was pretty awesome.

Crap, I hope I am not allergic to anything. That would suck! I like greek yogurt! And a lot of other healthy things.

I find that smaller meals and lots of fruit and watery vegetables help me release the bloat- so lots of tomatoes and cucumbers and carrots.

I found that when I eat some foods, like spaghetti, I get bloated really bad. Someone told me that it is a form of acid reflux. Just thought I would throw that in here too! ;D
