Bloating can be a sign of food intolerance such as gluten (wheat) and lactose (milk). Make a diary of your food and see what the triggers might be. Ask your doctor for a test for Celiacs disease and have him do a lactose breath test, also.
Also, I was always bloated for about a year then went off gluten and lactose. I stopped being bloated and my asthma completerly disappeared.

Too much salt, or new birth control? Either one can do it, so can pregnancy!!

Make journal of what you are eating, and then see if one day is worse than another...........so, go one day with very little salt......better or the same.........new vitamins might be the cause as well..........so what is new in your diet anything?

Take care and good luck. Don't forget PMS too.....

If all else fails, see your ob/gyn to be sure it's not a gyn problem.

I seriously have been bloating a lot lately, too! I was wearing an anklet and by 9 am, I had to remove it. Conveniently, I had an annual exam with my doctor. She said it could be because my period is about to start, my diet, and/or the heat. I am definitely not pregnant as my husband had a vasectomy. Hopefully, nothing more serious than that, but if it continues you should make an appointment bringing in a log of diet and the times of swelling.
