Bloating...anyone else experience this?

[Myira]

I get so bloated every now and then that seriously I go from looking not pregnant to looking 5 months pregnant. I have a mummy tummy but that is my lower tummy so this is definitely different and clearly bloating.

Of course, DH refuses to validate me :(. So anyone experience anything like this? I have wondered if it is tied to certain foods but have not been able to discern which ones.

I already take a daily culturelle and am sure that helps. What else could I do?

I sure did before going GF. You can search for a few threads I started in fall 2011 about it. Mine is definitely tied to a gluten sensitivity. Each an offending food and I bloat up w/in 30-45min of eating it. I would bloat to the point of feeling nauseated. Take phazyme and a few hours later I'm back to normal. Before going GF the reaction wasn't so immediate and it wasn't daily. I was convinced it couldn't be food related because it wasn't happening daily and I eat a pretty consistent diet. Well 4mos of food elimination trials and it became clear that gluten was my issue.

Gluten, dairy, soy, corn, etc can cause bloating in sensitive individuals.
