Sources of Bloat?

[aandd]

What foods cause bloating? Typical and hidden culprits. I think I stay bloated. I'm trying to get rid of bloat causing foods so I can see how much I've really improved the look of my tummy.

I'm assuming dairy, carbonated sodas....? What else to look for?

Honestly...ANY food can cause problems for anyone...

Bloat - water retention or gas?

Sodium, stress, estrogen can affect water retention.

Broccoli, too many complex carbs, eggs sometimes, oatmeal, too many fats can cause gas. To this end you can add digestive enzymes to your diet.

For ex - broccoli - I live off broccoli for competition but its brutal to my stomach. Turns out broccoli has a sugar in it that we don't have a natural enzyme in our bodies to digest it. So you can get digestive enzyme pills or even Beano.

Food allergies........

It does sound like you have a food allergy. I used to be that way and checked wheat, soy, and eggs. I was allergic to eggs and soy and didnt know for so long and it was always in my diet. Get checked for allergies. Also...strees. Elvated cortisol. Maybe have a complete hormone panel ran. Are you overtraining ?
