I've been eating salads and turkey..And I feel bloated..ugh Anyone know why? I'm drinking alot of water..Even though its making it worse..

Are you walking a lot?

I found that purely because of the weather where I live I was getting insane water retention. Just walking every day cleared this up for me. I am now walking further due to Atkins, and while I am drinking around 4 litres of water a day, I never feel bloated.

There are drugs you can take, but try walking first, imo.

Reymi, everytime I read your post I keep thinking about your username, wondering what your last name might be.....I see VZ at the end and wonder it that is your last name. My last name is Veazey, prounounced VZ and that's how I sign my last name in short. Just wondering........NOW to get back to the forum.

Slimshady, sorry about butting in. I too was feeling awfully bloated yesterday, it made me feel awful and quite discouraged. I know what my problem is, but it's getting better. NOT enough fiber. LOL! But I have increased my fiber quite alot today in hopes that things will work itself out.

I see you are eating salads......what about the salt content in your turkey? Just a thought.

I walk alot during the day..dosent seem to make a difference though.

As for fiber, LOL I'm only getting about 4g of that a day..It says to have about 3 cups of green vegies (which would be the salad I'm eating)..and it only comes out to 3..so um ok..

I've read that before about having to eat alot of fiber..But how much more am I supposed to be eating? lol probaly alot more then I want to.

I've felt the way you are feeling when I was on Weight Watchers after my children were born. I did the Points program and was allowed to eat unlimited veggies. The upside was that I had no problem with b.m. but I had the worst stomach ache and gas pains imaginable from all of my salad eating ! Is it possible that you are having the same reaction? I know veggies are important, but some may give you more problems than others and you may have to find out which have the least affect on you--or maybe try someting that will cause you not to get gas like been-o.
