My tummy feels bloated!

[Blue-Bird]

My tummy feels bloated when I sit down...and sometimes when I stand up. I have cut down on my portions and started to do excersize to see if any of that helps but it doesn't. I'm a size 8-10 in clothes but my tummy does slightly buldge...I don't know if I am over reacting and i just need to tone up or what??

[Sqad]

Is that it?.......no other symptoms?...............no idea.

[Blue-Bird]

No other symptoms...

[Sqad]

<<< if I am over reacting>>.

Yes.

[Blue-Bird]

I hope so!

It all sounds very normal to me bluebird. You haven't got anything to complain or worry about, at a size 8-10 with only a slight bulge. Stop worrying, and don't cut down on those portions too much.

Maybe it's your diet rather than your portion size?
If you cut down your portion size and exercise, you'll probably lose weight, but not change the bloatedness.

[Sqad]

If you are that worried....see your GP who will "put a hand on it"

[merciasounds]

have you changed your eating patterns lately? Started eating more wheat based products such as cereal or brown/granary bread?

[Bbbananas]

(or in it....)

What kind of stuff do you eat?

[snags]

A damn good fart will sort that...

[Bbbananas]

I just snorted at snags.... after having taken a drink of water, now it's all gone up my nose...

[Blue-Bird]

I do try to eat healthy...salads and stuff for lunch but then I do have a proper meal in the night...

suck peppermints after eating

[Blue-Bird]

Does that really work?

[Bbbananas]

Sometimes sucking on something can make it worse - cos you're sucking in air.

Tell you what bb, by the sounds of things - I'll swap my bulge for your bulge ?!!

[woofgang]

try motilium.

[Blue-Bird]

Woofgang - what's that?

[Sqad]

This is the most obvious "wind up" thread that i have ever seen.

[Blue-Bird]

Why is it?
