Hi I hope everyone is well

I have noticed over the past few weeks / months, my bloating is so much worse than ever more people than usual are asking if I am pregnant……

When am I due…….

Oh and how on earth am I not pregnant because I really look at that one was the best one yet…………

It is beyond getting on my nerves

What can I do to reduce this bloating please help!

I have already cut out gluten, red meat, dairy,

I have cut down on the caffeine and alcohol sugar and processed foods.

None of my clothes fit either this is very annoying! Thanks

I'm the same. I've cut out just about everything. Look pregnant too. I'm a size 8 but have had to buy size 12/14 clothes just to feel comfortable. Bloating definitely gotten worse lately despite doing all the right things. I don't know what triggers it anymore. Seems to have a mind of its own.

Night time is the worst for me and I've come to dread bedtimes became I can never get comfortable. Feeling awfully sleep deprived too.

I'm sick and tired of endo and everything that comes with it. It's started to drain me. Can't enjoy anything anymore.

I'm sorry I'm not much help but just wanted to say that you're not alone. I too want to know the answer and I hope somebody can shed some light! I don't know what's going on anymore. Just really frustrating! 😩

Xx

Th fo your reply. Congrats on bing pregnant, you will be bloated I’m a size 12-14. Look about 9 months pregnant though ! X

Bloating is pants. Sucks especially when it’s tight as a barrel too.

Not sure how much water 💦 you drink but I found drinking between 2-4 litres has really helped the bloating and bladder issues. Seems like a lot but it’s made a big difference. Apparently one gets more bloated the more dehydrated one is…

When have been really uncomfortable have done castor oil packs to soothe the soreness that comes with it too. You have to do them regularly though .

Diet wise it takes months but sticking with the encouragement of good flora has been a big one for me as has been Omega 3 which helps reduce the leaky tissue. I’ve found @heal-endo Instagram an educational and questioning feed rather than a random bits of guessing.

After a number of mega bloated months slowly mines softening and coming back down , no twins though 🤣
