Why am I so bloated all of the time?!
Question: Why am I so bloated all of the time?
I do not eat junk food, and I watch what I eat very carefully considering I'm in a lot of physical activity (sports, the gym, etc)
I look like a pregnant lady. It's slowly stretching my stomach, to the point where I'm getting stretch marks.
I am 18 years old, and before you say something..no I'm NOT pregnant.
This is what I've ate today:
Breakfast: 1 apple
Lunch: Pot of fruit (melon, strawberries, pineapple, grapes) | Fruit & nut organic bar
Dinner:
Beverages: 1 cup of Tetley tea | 5 glasses of water
It's not a lot, but it's all I can handle feeling like this :(
What could it be?
Answers:
You aren't eating enough, your body is probably in starvation mode. I'm sure you've seen pictures of children in Africa with very swollen stomachs. It's due to a build up of gas in your stomach? Well what i suspect you have is a milder case. You need to slowly start building up what you eat again, even if it's only a little a day. But you can't survive on practically fruit alone. Try some yogurt or something to start off with as well as what you're already having. And try to eat something little for dinner. Also talk to your doctor again. There may be some other underlying reason why your bloated.
The less you eat the more your body over reacts and stores the food to fat. Your body gos into survival mode and stores it because if you do this often it dosnt know the next time it can eat. So if you work out alot you need to be consuming more protein. As for how much you should weigh it all depends on your age and your heigh. There are site that help you figure out what it is.
