why do i get so bloated?

[Rox]

i get so bloated alot of times and it makes my stomach stick out. this might sound kind of dumb but i always wonder about it. i eat chicken,fish,fruit,veggies,water,milk stuff like that. i never cheat. why does this happen? it makes me feel like i have a huge stomach. is this normal? maybe it's lack of crunches or something like that? is there anything to prevent it?

its natural. im pretty sure it happens to everyone. it for dam sure happens to me. but doesnt bother me. i think theyre is something called bean-o or something like that, that helps bloating and gas.

Could be: sodium, carbonation, gas, food portions...

Are you drinking enough water? If not you should so the sodium can be flushed out --which can reduce the bloat.

I heard a high protein consumption causes gas and bloating... which explains my constant farting... hehe...

It is normal and could be from any number of things, like they listed above.
Just be sure to drink a lot of water to help minimize it

no soy protein right? soy can give you the bloat.

Drinking extra water has so many health benefits. It's one of the more fundamental (and more often overlooked, even in these forums) aspect of keeping your body healthy.

We talk about "clean" eating a lot, but what about getting the unclean stuff out of your body? It's all water, man!
