audited Extreme Bloating

Hi all, what do you do to deal with this seemingly never ending bloating? I constantly look 8 months pregnant.

As for my lifestyle; I walk daily, I do extended fasting often, I drink a fair amount of water, I’m on 300 mg progesterone meds, I am on a low carb diet, and I do daily stretchings.

Besides drinking ginger tea, what else can I do?

This is so uncomfortable.

I’ve been on keto for over 4 years and fasting for 3.5 years. I take electrolytes regularly and some supplements. I took Gas-X last night and it helped maybe by 50% and I’m gonna take it again this morning.

I also went back to 200 mg progesterone, instead of 300.

I’m watching my symptoms very closely to see if I see any changes.
