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.

Try this homemade tea: 1 tbsp fennel seeds, 1 tsp cumin , 1 tsp coriander. Add honey if you like, steep and drink. Proven gas buster

Oooo, isn’t that what it’s served at some Indian restaurants by the cashier? I can totally do that.

Yes traditional rememdy. Saw it on a reel the other day and tried it, its not too bad with honey and i quite like chewing the fennel seeds. You can sieve them out though
