Hey ptillen! I'm sorry to butt in - i read your message to Taylahmai. I have been managing my bloat for about a week and a half (hurray!!!) and now wake up with a flat tummy! The biggest change I have made is to keep control of portion size, but also, to try and take things as they come. I was stressing about when I was going to eat, what i was going to eat, where, etc for such a long time. I still do, but I try not to focus too much on it because if things don't work out as I've planned, I freak out and it starts my bloat. I totally avoid cold drinks and foods. Room temperature is fine for me though. I have started off my mornings with a cup of camomille tea before my shower so that some time will go in between the fluid and the rest of my breaky. I try to eat slow, to avoid isberg salad and cucumbers (major triggers for me), I've cut out all dairy (except parmesan...). I could blabber on more, but not sure which direction will help you (if any of what I have mentioned does?). I exercise regularly which is a must for me (I'm a C). Slowly but surely I feel as if the vicious bloating circle is losing it's hold on me. Slowly. I will succeed...
