I do the Primal Squat three times every day for at least five minutes.

The only thing that's helped me is drinking more water. I usually drink between 2-4 Liters a day. If I'm extra bloated some days, I will drink between 4-5, especially when sweating a lot, and I eat less food in general. I see some people say less carbs, and they're probably right.

(Everyone needs different amounts of water. I'm 5'7 140lbs for reference)

For me, walking and lots of stretching. I also drink a ton of water which helps immensely.

As someone with stomach problems, the best way for me is to avoid certain foods. If something gets to me anyway, then about all I can manage to do is walk and maybe some stretches as it’s too painful to do anything else.

I had the Kyleena for about 8 months and just switched to the generic for Yaz because I was having skin issues as well. I responded to another comment as well but I think my body does a bit better with a combo BC that has high estrogen. I was on Lo Loestrin for awhile before the IUD and had the same bloating issue. I switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen (maybe the generic? I don't remember) for a month or two while waiting for the IUD and noticed I was SIGNIFICANTLY less bloated. Got the IUD inserted and didn't notice any immediate changes but after a few months of always looking like I was 3 months pregnant I decided to finally get it out. I haven't been on my new pill long enough to see how it will affect me in the long run but I'm already a lot less bloated.

Not an exercise but switching birth controls. I'm down 6-7 lbs in 3 weeks of previously stubborn water weight that pretty much melted off after getting my IUD out.

Otherwise, I don't think exercise will help with bloating. Bloating is likely an inside-your-body issue and could be caused by food sensitivity.

Honestly going vegan helped me a ton

I have IBS and started doing yoga specifically to help with it. Some poses, including twists definitely help keep everything moving and working properly. I also find that my stomach issues are worse if I'm stressed and yoga helps my gut health by helping my mental health, you might be benefitting from that as well.

For me it fixed a lot of things that were related with stress. Could be your digestion issues were coming from constant tension and stress?

When a baby has gas, one technique is to lay them on their back, and gently hold their feet, and move them like a bicycle kick motion. Maybe you're doing some of the same to release gas in yoga?

I personally think yoga helps with everything lol

My digestion is much better when I’m doing yoga consistently. It helps relieve gas and keeps things moving.

Ginger-tumeric tea is an affordable option.

It's like one of my only symptoms and it's persistent. It gets worse after I eat or drink anything, but it's always bloated. I had one morning about 2 weeks ago where I woke up with no bloating and that was the first time in years that I wasn't bloated (I wish I knew what contributed to the lack of bloating that day).

I literally have some pants in two different sizes because my bloating can get so bad that I wear one size in the day and need the next size up by the night. It's ridiculous.

This is some solid advice! I will definitely take Claisen as a solution. Their personalized feature sounds super useful. What is the return policy like at Claisen?

Yep it's cortisol reaction. I get it after super tough Crossfit WODs or max lifts. Also worse if I don't eat something within an hour after training - usually if I eat soon after finishing the bloating is a little better.

Meeeee. It’s so annoying. I truly believe it’s a metabolic issue. I’m 10x more bloated if I work out on a fasted state.

No long term solution, but electrolytes help somewhat.

My belly is not bloated but my legs have been inflamed and retaining water since I started upping my running volume (have been at around 30-35 mpw, now pushing 40-45 mpw) and doing longer long runs (12-18 miles).

FYI, your water comment makes me think you might be refraining from drinking water in case you're retaining water - in fact you want to drink MORE water to flush your body out and so that it doesn't hold onto the water it does have access to.

The weird and wonderful human body, amirite?

If I exercise too intensely, I start getting period cramps because exercise can stimulate prostaglandins. Which is fun.

Try the bicycle crunch dear it ll give u a toned abs

Wow!

Unpopular opinion- drinking water fast can cause bloating in some people. Please check if you gulp down water fast..if so, try drinking water from a cup sip by sip...also tea/coffee can cause bloating. Outside food too. Sometimes when I have chinese food from outside I can feel my stomach bloated for 3-4 days

Chai means with milk right? Majority of South Indians are lactose intolerant. Try avoiding it and check. (Usually 2-3 chai wont make such a big trouble) Even after avoiding milk and its products for 3 days , if you are still having bloating.Let me know.

Check if you have lactose intolerance.

Try to cut down sugar, cut down salty food too. Lower intake of fast food. Eat 2 hrs before sleeping. Try to drink green tea instead of normal chaya

I understand your problem .

There are many ways to solve it . Increase chewing of food slowly while eating prevent fast eating . Eat more fiber and reduce intake of alternate form of carbs like lactose . Replace the coffee or tea intake to green tea . Increase food supplements like almonds cashews to your diet . Drink more water and eat food 4-5 times instead of 3 heavy meals .Seperate short meals .
