Stomach BLOATS EXCESSIVELY after any meal!

[junk]

Since the most biochemically minded and experienced guys are here, I post this in the Anabolic board looking for some help.

I always experience some serious stomach bloating after I eat. It happens even when the meal only contains fat and protein and almost no carbs, so it's not a gluten issue or something.

It's quite funny. Look at my avatar and see my chiseled abs. However, after I eat, my stomach baloons to extremes and it appears like I'm a couch potatoe with a gut bulging out of the pants and shirt (I'm not exaggerating)

It doesn't give me any stomach discomfort, pain or exessive gas, just ruins my visual appearnace and makes me go with my abs contracted all the time (lol)

I was in the health store today and bought some stuff, I'm going to take measurements of my stomach first thing in the morning without the supplements on empty stomach and also after meal with supplements to measure the difference if any.

Note that I also take GlucorellR with every meal(even a 5g carb meal) and also take Ginger Root caps (afstore) yet it's still not enough and stomach baloons.

I bought a product that called 'Digestive Aid Modulators', each capsule contains the following:

Carb Digestize Enzymes:
Amylase Enzyme: SKBU 2600
Lactase: LU 2600
Cellulase: CU 1040
Alpha Glactucidase: AGSU 1000
Amyloglucocidase: AGU 20

Protein Digestize Enzymes:
Protease: HUTU 13000
Papain: FCCPU 1170
Acidic Protease: AFPU 80
Bromelain GDU 50

Fat Digestize Enzymes:
Lipase LU 5200 (Do I need it?!?!?!?)

The label says it's recommended to take 1-2 tabs with each meal.
What do you think?

The guy from the health store also adviced me to try taking a product called Dophilus EPS (http://www.jarrow.com/products/JarroDophEPS.htm)
He gave me 4 caps from his own personal stash to try out:

Probiotic Bacteria 4.4 Billion Organisms *
Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 15.4% 680 Million
Lactobacillus casei R0256 15.4% 680 Million
Lactobacillus plantarum R0202 7.7% 340 Million
Lactobacillus acidophilus R0052 15.4% 680 Million
Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (morinaga strain) 15.4% 680 Million
Bifidobacterium breve R0070 7.7% 340 Million
Pediococcus acidilactici R1001 15.3% 670 Million
Lactococcus diacetylactis R0100 7.6% 330 Million
TOTAL
100% 4.4 Billion

Comments?
Also, any possible interaction between these supps and r-ala or fat loss?

were you having this problem before you started taking the ALA?

 

[lilleole]

my guess is, NO!

 

[solidspine]

I have the same problem, but worst since I am not as lean as you.
I have wondered if I am experienceing growth gut?
If you find a solution please contact me.

Are you drinking down alot of juice / water with each meal? I find eating and drinking, especially if quickly and at the same time, increases bloat for me.

 

[heregothere]

yeah, do you eat fast?

how much fiber do you get?

 

[Triple J]

may want to cut back on the protein shakes

 

[CLOBRO]

What type of protein shakes are you using? Concentrate makes me bloat but the more expensive and higher quality isolate whey is fine for me.

Try an HCL & Pepsin digestive pill with your protein meals. You may have insuffiecient stomach acid to break down all that protein.

I was going to post this same issue. I am very lean and when I wake up in the morning have a good flat stomach. By noon 1in on belly and by late night I have a pot belly that is horrible. Unless of course I stand in perfect form. This seems to be worse on ab days when I just let it hang from being tired.

Thanks for replies so far. My protein shakes are MET-Rx which don't really contain much concentrate. A whopping 46g of protein servering (58g powder) contains only 3g of carbs, which protein concentrate powders contain quite some carbs. bump
