It's all in the hormones. Sometimes you'll have more in your system than other times. It doesn't matter whether you've eaten, but stress, and getting enough water and rest can affect how bloated you are. Unfortunately, bloating is a side effect of PMS. Try some Ibuprofen or Midol, drink plenty of water and exercise or get some rest, and you'll feel a lot better.

Yes, anything irritating to the stomach will impede digestion, so as the food sits longer, it ferments, which causes bloating. I can relate...I used to just relish anything spicy, but when I learned that these things gradually eat away at the tender linings of our digestive system, I wanted to do away with it. Our taste buds change over time; plus, with experimentation you can find similar tastes that are not so hot. For example, eat sweet peppers in place of the hot ones; or, many times (as in with the Pacilla peppers for enchilada sauce) you can greatly reduce the "spice" of a dish simply by leaving the seeds and pith out of it--the flavor is still excellent. I have found, too, that you tend to notice delicate flavors more as you tone down the heat a bit, which I think is a neat "side effect".

Sounds like you are allergic to them!  Other foods you may be allergic to are \n\n    * dairy products\n    * soy\n    * shellfish\n    * wheat\n    * tree nuts\n    * peanuts\n    * egg whites \n\nYou may not break out in blisters but you may have hay fever, eczema, acne, high blood pressure, etc, etc.

Look, if you don't drink water, your body primitively starts to store all fluids, which in turn makes you bloat, which in turn,makes you put on weight. Drink warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Why warm water? Because it is easier to digest and your body doesn't burn energy on heating it in the stomach. Filtered water, preferably.

The reason you should drink more water is to help your body filter more effectively. It should not cause you to bloat unless you are eating things that cause you to retain water. An excessive salt intake will cause you to retain water. Consider this. \n\nSometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don't remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit. \n\nIf snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don't drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two "healthy meals" a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried. \n\nAlso, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!\n\nI hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

My Acupuncturist/Dr of Oriental Medicine had me start taking some digestive enzymes to cure some gas and bloating. I have been taking Rainbow Light Advanced Enzyme System (Plant Based) before each meal and it has helped a lot.\n\nhttp://www.vitacost.com/RainbowLightPlantSourceAdvancedEnzymeSystem\n\nI would also steer clear of "sugar free" items that use sugar alcohols as a replacement as those can cause LOTS of gas.

Most lentils will cause gas.  I go by the blood type diet when it comes to lentils.  The only lentil that is okay for all blood types is Pinto Beans (Refried Beans, Frijoles).  You could be experiencing acid reflux that's caused by poor digestion.  Lentils are hard to digest.  I'm blood type O as most people in the world are.  Even Pinto Beans should be eaten sparingly. But are very good for the digestive tract. \n\nThe spice Cumin may help the gas, however lentils can cause weight gain.

I think you mean BLOATED, and NO it's not good to drink too much water or gatorade. Try to stick with about 8-10 glasses of water a day, that's plenty.

I'd say fibers.  You can either eat fibers supplement or eat grain rice, wholewheat bread or fiber rich fruits such as papaya.

Abdominal bloating can occur for lots of reasons. Many Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) sufferers find their stomachs are flat on awakening but distend progressively throughout the day. For others the bloating can occur within minutes and can be aggravated by eating. \n\nYour bloating could be related to your eating habits and diet. For example, chewing gum, eating or drinking rapidly, smoking, nervously gulping air can cause you to swallow large amounts of air, some of which reaches the large intestine and can cause bloating. Gas can be produced by such foods as beans, onions, broccoli and cabbage. Some fruits can also cause intestinal gas. When fruit is digested, gas may be produced in the large intestine through a process called fermentation that can make you feel bloated. \nEating more slowly, reducing the amount of gas-forming foods you eat, reducing your stress levels and getting plenty of exercise may help. \n\nIf you symptoms persist you should visit a gastroenterologist for a thorough check-up.

Certain foods causes a buildup of gases in the stomach. The expulsion of these gasses is what you call a fart.

Try just eating one kind of food a day and then if you have gas the next day you can start to find out what foods cause it. Good Luck
