Why am I so bloated?

[Nfkdhehr]

I eat stuff and bloated for hours or even a day maybe

[lightbulb27]

did you go to chipotle again? most fast food is bad. you need real food with real enzymes and bacteria

stop eating sugar, change diet.

time to eat some fresh salads... and protein and that's it... little carbs.

[Nfkdhehr]

Thanks. I love fruit but it keeps bloating me lately.

[Nfkdhehr]

Actually it seems eating salads makes me a bit bloated too or something bad in my stomach I don't know so I try not to eat salad daily.

[lightbulb27]

could be candida albicans... if see white on tongue, is likely.
sugar... all sugar is the enemy as bacteria causes bloating and expansion.
get system back in balance, then can eat fruit again.

that is one scenario...
avoid junk food. salad from stores has preservatives. possible cause.

[Nfkdhehr]

Thanks. Honesty it’s hard to avoid eating salad from stores. I’m addicted to sugar maybe I can stop it. What kind of method do you like for cleansing yourself?

[lightbulb27]

there ya go... sugar is the problem. You can thank your body because it will do more damage if keep taking it. I've had plenty, trust me...

Have a friend duct tape you... haha! ok never mind that...

I've done lots of that stuff in early life... none to recommend.
Best advice is, take all the refined sugar and carbs and throw it out.

Eat veggies and such, cook them or raw I don't care. You should be able to eat well... this isn't torture. It's only torture to cut out the sugar for a few days as the bacteria die off, then to work to come up with recipes that work for you without much added. Then return to eat fruit.

I'm our chef at home, so if need ideas or list, lmk.

Cleansing... I used to do this long ago... haven't anymore. you find what foods work in you and is not an allergy to you, don't need. If want to do cleanse to start, ok fine. What I would suggest if overweight is... skip breakfast. Drink water or tea or fresh juice... cuts calories and burns off other stuff. Eat lunch and dinner, fruit and veg.

note that I do eat carbs and sweets, just cut back. If too much, it causes problems.

Also, I like vinegars that have some sweet and pickle juice/pickles. Adds flavor and there is sugar, but doesn't seem to cause problems like refind sugar. you have to find what works in your system.

Thanks so much. I’d be interested in your list if you have one handy.

I suffer from bloating as well. For me the main causes are too much sodium & poor gut health. Both are equally important for me. What I recommend is to avoid sugars, keep sodium within healthy range, drink at least.0568grams of water per gram of sodium consumed, & eat more foods that ferment in the gut.

[Cruingjam]

Thanks why do you want fermenting?

[Sonorous]

When things ferment in the gut, it feeds the good bacteria. I deal with gut issues constantly & I notice that I look and feel my best when eating foods like pinto beans, cabbage, greek yogurt, etc. But do google searches for other food sources that ferment because your personal preference for taste & your gut's preference may differ.

And remember, the most important thing is feeding the good & not the bad. My gut health struggles when I eat high sugar to the point where I will always be worse off eating sugar of any kind really. Doesn't matter if it's in fibrous foods. I'm just better off not having it in general.

[Cruingjam]

Thanks ! Do you avoid fruit?

[Sonorous]

@Cruingjam - I avoid most fruits if I feel that they don't aid my gut health. For instance, bananas have fiber & antioxidents so eating them will make me look & feel better than not eating them. But I refer to get them green when there's little to no sugar & then freezing them in that state so that I can just get the health benefits. I still eat yellow bananas but unless I'm working out & I'm using that as a pre-workout, I really don't need those fast digesting sugars. But since I even freeze yellow bananas, the resistant starches are still there so digestion is slower in a similar way to the green ones but I still get a blood sugar spike which often causes temporary inflammation. But the antioxidents from the banana get rid of the inflammation quick though.

Depends on what you eat. Welcome back with yet another account. You realize it is easy to spot you with the username and the always "public" option checked for a first time asker?

[jahaims]

Your gut health is shit and or you are allergic to a bunch of stuff

[In_Trance]

Stop consuming so much crap

[Avicenna]

What are you eating?

[Nfkdhehr]

I ate corn chips
I know that when I drink fruit juice like apple juice boxes over bloated or fruit in general like bananas UGH.
But also I get it from other stuff I just don’t know what. Maybe it’s from bread.
