A member asked:

I have struggled with an eating disorder for roughly 2 years and part of it is that i restrict water. i do this because everytime i drink water i bloat like a balloon. what should i do to fix this? i also bloat even when i eat the smallest amount?

A common cause of this is swallowing too much air while drinking fluids or eating. Also forcing yourself to belch causes one to build up gas and make them want to belch more causing a vicious circle. Don't chew gum,gulp liquids or eat too rapidly. Taking simethicone 1/2 hour after a meal prevents gas buildup.
