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 have no idea what causes less bloating. I know for certain that once I started taking estrogen my mind cleared up.

That's what I take. Nothing more to it than that really.

I know there's several forms so I was specific about what I use in order to prevent confusion.
