Hi,
Normally I don't have that much trouble with bloating but somehow today my stomach felt so bloated. I didn't eat anything unusual so I can't figure it out. I kept burping up air.
Any suggestions?

Sorry you're having such a bad bloat day! I just want to cry on those days (and often do!)
I'm starting to wonder if maybe I eat too fast - any possibility you just swallowed too much air today?
Was it a particularly stressful day for you?
Did you eat anything weird in the last day or two? Sometimes the most distressing part of this whole IBS thing is that reactions are not always (ever??) immediate - it can take days!!!

I have a lot of trouble with bloating and I see a huge increase when I eat too fast. I know it goes against all weight loss ideas but I always try to do something else while eating. So in the morning I have my oatmeal at work. I will take a bite, then check my e-mail. Then have another bite. Then start writing a notice I have to send home that day, then take another bite. Sometimes if I read a book I'll take a bite every page. I know it sounds ridiculous but it helps me eat really slowly and this REALLY helps the bloating.
Bloating is so annoying though, sometimes it seems to be unrelated to food completely! Good luck!

Kteach, I do something else when I'm eating too! Every morning when I eat breakfast I read the paper, which forces me to slow down and some days it takes me almost an hour to eat breakfast! I notice that if I eat too fast I get bloated too. For anyone who has bloating problems, I really recommend a ginger pill called Reflux Away, it works so great, I take it even if I just have an upset stomach, it calms my tummy and helps the bloat go down too. Ah, the joys of IBS.

Candy2, I buy the Reflux Away at my local health food store, but I did find an internet site that sells it too, and it is for a very good price. I hope these can help you!

Thanks for the link. I will order this. How big are the capsules? I have a hard time swallowing large pills.
Thanks again!

The pills aren't that big, they go down really easy, I hope they help you!

I called the company and was told the capsules can be opened into a liquid. I may do this.
Thanks Again.

Hi Again Jenny B,
I received my order yesterday and will use them today. They are still too big for me to swallow, so I will open the capsule into apple juice.
I will let you know how I do.
Thanks again for the recommendation!
