heya everyone,
recently (about 3 weeks ago) one day i woke up and put my trousers on and they seemed a little snug when usually i have to wear a belt on it! so i concluded that i was bloated. At the time i was on my period so i thought that the bloatedness was due to that. However 3 weeks on my stomach's still bloated, is this normal or should the bloatedness hav gone by now??? please help as this is the first time ever that i have experienced bloatedness.
thanks in advance xx
p.s. for those who i suggest i am fat or pregnant get a life! i cant go from a size 6/8 to a size 10 overnight and definately not pregnant either

Bloatiness is a horrible thing and why people laugh about it is
beyond me.
Could you have been cutting back on your food intake by any chance and drinking fizzy drinks instead.
Are you constipated one day and running to the loo the next if so you could have the start of IBS so best ask a medical doctor.
Try drinking barley water for a while and see how it goes. And lay of the salt and processed foods and take aways as all of these can contribute to bloating because of the high sodium content in the food.
I'm sure you soon be back to normal but all the best anyway.

could be a number of things. certain foods cause bloating, eating a big meal/snack before going to bed. try cutting out the usual suspects that cause bloating. wheat,yeast,cabbage,broccoli etc. if bloating still there see Ur GP. or bit a little seaweed in your food whilst cooking it, the seaweed breaks down the emzie that causes bloating.

Have you been getting stomach aches with this too?? Bloating could of been caused with a change of diet. have you eaten something you don't normally eat. if this doesn't go away I'd go to doctors as Bloating shouldn't last to long.

is your taste a bit salty?
try low sodium... salt can hold a lot of water in your body.
also, do you eat a lot of grain? espcially Barleys can make a lot gas in your intestines.
try not to eat for one whole day. Just drink water and see what happens next day.

Water retention maybe? You can get a special kind of pill for that, to flush it away. Also try cutting your salt intake ,that may help.

You need to go to your GP as soon as possible. Don`t want to frighten you but it is important to get a check up. you should not be retaining water or still be swollen for this long.

Could be constipation or water retention?
Drink loads of water & keep an eye on it

Have you ever thought about getting a clonic. It sounds gross but afterwards you'll feel and look a whole lot better
