Bloating

[KatieRose00]

Does anoyone else struggle with bloating? I've had it for quite a long time now. It's especially bad in the evening after dinner. I'll feel kind of full and my abdomen will blow up like a balloon. I try to not eat so much but it still happens. What's causing it? What are some ways to relieve it?

This happens to me sometimes as well. Does it correlate with your flare ups? It seems to happen to me randomly despite whether or not I'm flaring; I don't know what causes it . If it does happen with your flare up then treating your flare as a whole could help. I would do this by cutting out refined sugar as a start. If that doesn't work you could experiment and try cutting out dairy and gluten as well. Refined sugar seems to be what bothers my Crohn's. Hope you find a way to resolve your issues!

I use to have a lot of bloat, but since starting paleo and then scd diet, I don't really have bloating.
What is your diet?

A recent MRI showed that I'm not in a flareup. I did start to wonder about something like IBS cause of the issues I have with diarrhea and constipation. Either one or the other. I had digestion issues for quite a while. I remember noticing a long time ago how my abdomen would swell up. I have an appointment with my GI doc in a week so maybe we'll find out a little more. I'm really not on a certain diet. Trying to eat healthy and avoiding the foods that don't agree with me. Those were some good ideas! thanx so much
