I don't really know about the bloating, but I do know it helps with C.

bloating from water retention can be helped by drinking more water. Bloating from trapped gas (what happens with lots of IBS folks) can be helped a lot by fennel tea, and for folks who do well with peppermint, by enteric coated peppermint oil caps. Probiotics can help too, as can taking them with a soluble fiber supplement that has a prebiotic effect.
