Hi Janet,

If I eat too much of anything -- I bloat. Hell, I bloat after a glass of water.

But, to answer your question .. yes. I bloat if I eat too many vegetables and fruits. My general physician told me that because of my condition, I am going to bloat more easily?

This answer may not be very coherent. Sorry.

Take care!

HI Janet,

Yup Patrick is right...extra fiber will cause gas & bloating. When that happens it's hard to tell if it's the fiber or recurring gastro problems. You should add fiber slowly to your diet. That way your body can adjust to it.

If you are new to the GF diet, it might be possible you are getting some hidden gluten. Or, it may be other food intolerances...dairy, corn, soy are some of the biggies!

Good luck!!
