What is causing abdominal bloating? And how to fix it?





Monday, August 16th, 2010

I’m a woman trying to lose weight. Currently, I’m training pretty hard for a triathlon (swimming, biking, running). My weight has not gone down (I’m currently 115 lbs at 5’2). I’ve also been on a colon cleanse which I’ve recently stopped. My lower abdomen (right below belly button) is unusually distended. It’s not fat, it’s bloat and a lot of it. My stools have been rather runny lately, but when they are not, they have been difficult to come out. I’ve further read that using laxatives (which I did with the colon cleanse) can cause constipation. One of the symptoms of constipation is, ironically, diarrhea. Constipation, of course, causes bloating. I’ve also read that too many crunches and other ab work can also push up the muscle underneath the fat and cause you to look fatter. Last night, I took my last dose of the colon cleanse stuff and I also worked my abs really hard. I’m thinking this combination has left me abnormally bloated. So my question is: how do I lose the bloat?

    It is normal to become bloated with colon cleansing products it’s a typical side effect. You may just have to waiat for the colon cleanse to leave your system and your bowels to return to normal. Some colon cleansing products can be traumatic to your system. If the bloating continues or if consipation problems continue I would see your doctor next week.

    YOU MIGHT BE CONSTIPATED , I GET THAT WAY AT TIMES AND A GOOD ENEMA ALWAYS WORKS. FLEETS ENEMA DOES NOT WORK FOR BLOATING. SAVE MONEY AND GET THE ENEMA BAG FOR A GOOD CLEANING.
