The Bloat Has Got To Go!

[runlikeagirl]

diagnosed a month ago...went gluten free for 3 weeks and then decided to go casein and soy free as well. I'm a marathoner, so I started taking glutamine after my workouts b/c read that exercise could be lowering that amino acid and messing with my digestive system. I also started taking a digestive enzyme and acidol,,,s bacteria stuff. It is like clock work...around 4pm my stomach starts churning and gas bubbles start spawning whether I've eaten anything recently or not...and it lasts all night. My stomach looks distended and lately it's even still there in the morning when i wake up. I have noticed after doing all of this that my stools are much harder, but that's the only difference. Still have the horrible bloat. Do you guys think that i could have further food intolerances or does the leaky gut thing cause gas until it's healed??? And why does it start up at the same time everyday??? I have a rock hard flat stomach that I work so hard on and b/c of the bloat I never get to enjoy it.

A few of us have had some success with Neem for bloating:

Thanks, I"m going to give it a try. Is it okay to take with digestive enzymes and glutamine? Also, I'm running a marathon in 2 weeks. Should I wait to start this afterwords, since it could be doing damage control for a little while??? Not sure what would be worse, that or the bloat

Anytime you add a new supplement to your routine, the outcome can be unpredictable, so YES wait until after your marathon. Take them when you do not have to be somewhere important. A nice relaxing weekend. For me, the bloat got a little worse for about 2 -3 days and more D. But then it started getting better and eventually went away. Now I only bloat if I eat a lot of cabbage or something else gassy.
