Kombucha and seltzer help a lot!

Not eating gluten helps me the most. When I’m on my period, I tend to ear softer foods like fruit.

For me, cannabis is the best. But also camomile tea and peppermint tea.

I can totally relate to this!! Magnesium (there are sprays, capsules, powders, epsom salt baths-- whichever is easier/more appealing works) is great.

In the moment, I like twisting yoga poses/classes, loose clothes, easy to digest foods, teas like peppermint or ginger, and avoiding caffeine (makes mine worse).

If you notice it particularly after certain foods, avoiding those may help prevent it (if you haven't already) or even trying with your tolerance of those things. Most of the time it's not an all or nothing scenario (exception for celiac disease and allergies). There's usually a tolerance we can have, especially with fruit when the problem tends to be with the form of fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAP). I'd try that!

You may also find tolerance changes depending on where you are in your cycle, too. So it may not be something you have to avoid for ever, just at certain times or decreasing at certain times. This is definitely true for me!

Agreed with everyone else's suggestions. You may also want to consider gently detoxing your gut. Sometimes I'll take activated charcoal capsules on an empty stomach. They latch on to any toxins (including nutrients! So take it well in between meals) and can help reduce bloating

Try fasting... cured me

I think It's more about what you remove than what you add :)

For example, try to remove cow dairy (goat is ok!), sugar, cereals/bread/pasta, and junk food in general! And maybe try taking some kefir and black seed oil!

Look at the foods you’re eating. Chronic bloating can be related to many things, but it’s often food sensitivities or SIBO (which needs testing). For chronic bloating I recommend booking with a naturopathic doctor.

What if you only really experience bloating after drinking water? Especially if you drink alot of water?

You’re not alone. I have similar symptoms and haven’t had any luck either. I am currently working on balance my gut bacteria and then working with my naturopath to kill the bad guys & candida that showed up in my GI map. My advice is to listen to your body. If you can, test under the guidance of a naturopath who you trust, and hang in there! It’s a journey that has been constantly testing my patience and acceptance of my condition.

30 grams of fiber a day seems to be the answer to many issues.

Work on your vagus nerve, many free videos on YouTube. Eat clean food without preservatives. Do beginners ta ichi, qi gong. I am taking glutathione, L glutamine Omega 3, good vitamin c, d3 with k2, and liquid magnesium. It worked wonders for me. Connect with a good holistic practitioner eho is not charging an arm and a leg. I hope you feel better

Histamine intolerance perhaps?

Yes. After years and years of dealing with this and trying to figure it out, i used A.I. to dial in a resolution and it has worked incredibly.

I learned my body was desperate for predictable, gentle fuel. I had always focused on an ultra-healthy Mediterranean diet with loads of colorful variety. Apparently, my body is too sensitive for that.

The solution has been a mix of fasting and a very plain gentle diet with slowly adding foods in. So to heal my stomach for weeks I ate only chicken, potato (or rice), and fully cooked zucchini and carrots. My fasting schedule meal times are 1030am, 2pm, and 5pm. With no eating other times and a solid fasting window. Slowly add foods and track bloating after a few weeks of giving your gut time to heal.

Personally,

I've found walking helpful, when you can; it's uncomfortable but it jiggles everything the right way to seem to get the air out somehow ~ also stretching, or laying on your right side and rubbing your stomach in circles [I've found clock wise best personally]

It does, however, depends on if it's hard bloating and I just feel stuck; then the belly rubbing works, to soft just very air filled, then I try and at least pace a little bit to see if I can get anything moving.

I take lactase and probiotic tablets as soon as I realise I’ve had lactose, peppermint tea seems to help settle things down also. Going for a long walk will significantly reduce the discomfort time too.

I’m commenting bc I’m exactly you and I really need some tips on this too. I look 6 months pregnant right now.

Seems like you’re keep a pretty good lactose free diet and just slipped up with the chocolate. Try to avoid all lactose in the future and when you do accidentally ingest lactose I would recommend taking some Tylenol and Advil to kill the pain while you wait for your stomach feels better. This is what I do and it works great.

I usually take some gas-x or pepto to help with the bloating symptoms. I don't really know if these qualify as "home remedies" but I've tried everything from special yoga moves to spices and drinks and nothing, for me at least, works as well as those pills.

I can’t find a remedy. In fact if you could inform me with some I’ll be happy��

IBS-C so bloating 24/7

Simethicone and jumping rope. Seriously nothing will get that gas out faster than jumping rope.

Partner of ibs sufferer....looks out from behind the couch....can I refresh your hot water bottle hun? Look I found all these new low fodmap recipes to try❤️��

>What's simethicone? :o

Where do you get that

I believe it's the active ingredient in gas-x

Pimpinella anisum and foeniculum vulgare.

Bitter plants can help greatly, centaury is great and kinda neutral. Artichoke leaf can be a good help to. You can have them in pills if the taste is too strong. Bitterness will help stomach + liver + pancreas + bowel movement.

Then you might want to throw some aromatic herbs to kill the excess of bacterias. They contain essential oils that regulate the bad bacterias and leave unharmed the good ones. So can add some cumin, caraway, cardamum, fenugrec, fennel, etc... to your dishes.

Just make sure to take it easy with thyme, muscad, cinnamom since they're the most powerful and can irritate your stomach and severe and your liver.

Ofc make sure to eat easy stuffs like poatotes and carrots, avoid drinking big quantities during meals, dont mix too much different foods, avoid quick sugar and alcohol.

Are you constipated? That was one of my first symptoms and now I eat a probiotic yogurt with fruit and granola for breakfast everyday and it helps so much.

Simethicone works for me sometimes, and I try ginger in various forms (ginger people tablets and chews, tinctures), and peppermint. Hope you get some relief!

My doctor recommends simethicone, but I've found it doesn't really do anything.

I used to combined fresh ginger and pineapple juice and drink a cup first thing in the morning, one at midday, one before dinner and just before bed. I used a 7 oz cup and it was enough. It helped a lot while I was able to tolerate it-I had found it online. If I can remember correctly I would grate (you can put it in a processor or blender both work fine) 1 1/2 lbs of fresh ginger -place it in a strainer (lined with cheese cloth) over a pitcher filled with 1 bottle 64 oz of 100% pineapple juice. Begin to press the ginger juices through the cloth-you just want to prevent the fibrous pieces from getting into the pitcher, all of the soft stuff is ok. The more you put in, the spicier it will be. Squeeze the cheese cloth at the end to get the rest. Discard what’s remaining. Stir the pitcher and refrigerate until needed.

Note: If you have a very acidity stomach I don’t suggest this drink. Maybe as your doctor first. Currently I use GasX and Beano.
