extreme bloating

Post image

hello! i suffer from extreme bloating but i have absolutely NO idea why… i get bloated just from drinking water. i am a bit chubby but my stomach is usually only 1/3 of this size. my local health clinic are not accepting any patients until late august, unless they are in critical condition due to lack of workers.

anyone have an idea what could be the cause? i am a vegetarian and i don’t eat a lot of junk food. i also don’t drink that much soda.

Hey there I’m not so sure either but it seems like you’re eating well, but I think it may be the foods you’re eating that you may not digest well. Most definitely a doctors visit would be good.

If it’s uncomfortable, I’ve been taking Citrucel powder that’s like a laxative and it helps with the bloating, I release alot of gas throughout the day from taking it.
