Please does Anyone have any advice on bloating?

Bloating and other GI issues in recovery is really rough. There were two things and helped me when I was going through this that might be useful to you. I don't know how you have things structured, but when I was first starting recovery, I kept myself to a pretty consistent eating schedule. About an hour before each meal, I drank a glass of water with a spoonful of apple cider vinegar to help add digestion. It easily could have been a placebo effect, but I think it helped a bit. After eating, I also did some very short, very gentle yoga designed to add in digestion (I used something I found on YouTube). Neither of these strategies were cure-alls but they did help make me feel a bit more comfortable.

I know bloating can be very uncomfortable and annoying. What really helped me was that I tried to eat several small meals per day instead of eating big quantities at once and having hours of break without eating anything. Also there might be foods that make you bloat more for example with me it was wheat and milk products. So if you reduce them or give them a break, the bloating will be less and you will feel more comfortable. Drinking water also helps with bloating and eating fruits and berries after meals help with digestion.
