Why do I bloat whenever I eat or drink?

I’ve notice this since middle school. Whenever I eat, or drink my stomach bloats! even if i’m just drinking water! The bloating makes me appear fat and I can never wear tight/fitting tops because others will notice my round belly. What can I do?

Wow, this is a bit tricky here.. ok, how do I start this.. first of all it really depends what your daily intake is. if you are hving a lot of spicy foods & lots of greasy foods it may be caused by irritating gas.

Another reason can be an issue with ur colon.(this is going to sound gross which is y i didnt know how to begin!) You are 20 years old. Picture your colon like a 20 year old pipe, having things shoved down that pipe from greasy fatty foods & all sorts of high fructose bev’s now picture how much that pipe is clogged with all that gew in it. What would you do to open up a clogged drain? Something like liquid Drano right?! Well think of your colon as that 20 year old drain that is clogged. It just might need a tiny cleanse & be just fine. I wont speculate here so it’s best if you saw a professional like your doctor for a regular check up. I may be over doing it by a long shot which is why having a regular physical might be worth the shot. Another thing, in the mean time…try changing your diet by limiting yourself to more fruids/vegi’s, 2 dairy meals, less processed & sugary things as well as subbing brown rice instead of white rice. Keep a low on the pasta as well. last but not least try to get a walk or some other exercise to get your heart rate up a bit…30-45 mins a day is excellent & will boost your metabolism. Dont forget your 8 glasses of water a day (that doesnt include any sweetened bev’s either especially coffee or tea as well!)

Hope this helps.
