Fed up GingerD

Hi GingerD,

If you are bloated due to your digestive system you could try taking a pro-biotic suppliment such as acidophilus or one of those yoghurt tpye drinks. That might help with bloating (my sister swears by them cos she has bad IBS)

But if its more of a belly flab situation (as it is with me...I carry all my weight on my tummy...just below by bellybutton...NOT A GOOD LOOK!!!) I'm not really sure, but I'd stick to doing regular exercise (esp abdominal exercises) and eating well. Hope you have a good holiday!!!

Cheers KT-you see im not sure if its digestive/herbs or just belly flab it seems to be all of the above

Sorry can't remeber your program,,, but fennel does help relieve gas. Is bloating worse at night??? " Beano" also is for gas,,, thats the products name, I don't know whats in it, but its cheap and you get it at drug store. Hey good luck with this Ginger.

snowflake-" Beano" what is this? Im taking fennel in massage not in pill form do you think this could help if i added pills?
Also yes the bloating is bad at night but as we speak im very full/bloated.

Do you think the WU has altered my digestive system or just added weight im confused and look like a blimp

hi ginger,

i had this problem as well when i started with NBE. i make teas from loose herbs, like nettle or catnip (i think that this is the english name) which help with digstion, and fennel is supposed to be good as well, as someone already mentioned, you can make tea from it too. good luck, i hope you will feel better soon, mark

Mark-Has your teas helped you?have you lost the weight/bloating
And does the bloating reacure if you havent had your teas?
thanks

gingerD - I have the same problem. I may have mentioned this before, but I have been taking acidophilus before meals, and it does seem to help a bit. Drinking lots of water does too. I did try adding fennel for a couple of months, but I couldn't tell a difference while I was on it, or when I stopped. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't help you though. It is frustrating, I know.

But herbs can make you VERY! gassy. Even when I was doing that lite cleanse,, I was gassy and bloated mostly at night. Fennel capsules may help,,( internal). "Beano" is an over the counter pill you can get to help relieve gas,, we can get it in Canada, its cheap,, but I don't know if you could get it in UK. Probably yes,, it will just have another name . If I find anythin else out I will let you know,,,until then Ginger, take care and don't be floating around,,lol.

" Beano " is a digestive enyzime, you can get it same departmant as anacids tablets. Ask at your local drug store. Good Luck!

js89-Have you remainded bloated though? even though you are trying to do every thing to stop it?did you also gain weight?

Do you think a break is in order guys?
and if so will belly go down before xmas?

Snowflake cheers for that il look into getting some

hi ginger,

i wasn't trying to lose weight, my problem was bloating and i think that the teas helped me because i stopped drinking them a couple of weeks ago (just couldn't be bothered to make them) and started to get bloated again, but it's not as bad as it was the first few weeks of WU

i used to have a crazy bloating problem... even as recently as last week. i started colonix, but its expensive (though it can be done on herbs). consider if you are more constipated than usual, and if you are more gassy than usual... if so it is sitting somewhere in your intestines causing the bloat, so that is what you need to clear out.

an increase in your fiber intake may help, though when you do that you need to drink a lot of water so you will feel more bloated at certain points of the day but it will help in the long run. a fennel tea at night will help too to loosen up whats making your tummy stick out...

i hope that helps. im no doctor!

hugs and good boobie wishes!

Guys!!!!
You wont belivev it, i went round mi dads (hes well in to herbal stuff etc, hes a bloody sports guru), he said my bloating could be wind -Lol yes i know-He sujested doing twisting movements to see if it was, well as it happened i had my 1st class of Pillates yesturday, and its brilliant!!!!!-Now i wasn't farting all night but my belly and insides were making gurgling and trumping sounds.

This morning bloating is dramatically less !!!!!YEY

Emmie-Can you tell me alittle more about colonix-Because i think you are right i don't mind the cost if it works
cheers 4 the advice

i didnt get online yesterday...

i got the colonix from www.drnatura.com and it seems to finally be doing its trick... i am even losing weight around the middle, and to tell the truth i think it might be helping my program a bit. i have been on it about a week and a half now and its a supergentle program... i still work out, im not running to the bathroom, i dont wake up in the middle of the night, and it really makes you drink the water you should be drinking anyway!

most of the information is on the website... the pictures are gross! i didnt totally believe it especially because it took me about a week to really start responding to the program...

the trick is to have the time to do it, because you shouldnt take your herbs until at least an hour after the fiber (preferably two) so that makes it a little harder in the morning.

i do recommend the program... i feel so much better these days, including less bloating!

hugs and good boobie wishes!

Thank you Emmie!!!!-I have also found it now on ebay-DO you continue with your herb program at the same time?And its working out ok?

It does seem expensive i wonder if there are any simular prodcuts as affective?

Hey GingerD,

I found this web-sit www.perfect-shape.co.uk, it seems cheaper i have the same problem. I was thinking of trying it.

Good luck

Thanx cournty-Iv been on, now sorry if im being thick is is called the same thingor if not which one of the bottles is it?-They are all things iv never herd of

Thanks GingerD

P.s-Still as bloated as ever, the pillates eased the bloat and weight for 1 day-I really think i may have to break as my figure is v imortant !!!

ginger - I think the acidophilus has helped, but no, it didn't take the bloating away. Today I'm going to try the Beano, and I also bought something called Aqua-Ban. It claims to help eliminate excess water weight gain, puffiness and bloating. It claims to start working in one dose, so we'll see. I too am frustrated and would like to get back to myself. I'll let you know if I notice a difference after taking these for one day - like it claims.

Hey there js89,

I take aqua ban 10 days before my periods as i suffer really bad bloating and i must say its great stuff, i hope it works for you too.

Good luck

That's awesome courtney. I'm glad to hear that you have tried it, and it helps. We'll see what it does for me. That is encouraging. :)

Courtny-I dont get periods can it be taken any time?

What do you guys think about pepermint-Isnt this suposed to e good for stomach upset etc?

GingerD- well i'm not to sure, i suppose there would be no harm in you trying them, they help get rid of bloating by removing excess water that builds up just before your periods, so im unsure.. sorry.

Sorry to keep going on but i just need an answer thanks again GUYS!!!!!

Courtney-
well iv took your advice and baught aqua ban and i also baught the collon thingy-I also have some detox feet pads, so i will be sticking those to my feet

Fingers Xed 4me

THANKS AGAIN GUYS WILL UPDATE YOU SOON XXXX

detox feet pads??

I think fenugreek is responsible for bloating. When my stomach gets hard and starts growing (I will even get "growing pains," the kind you're supposed to get in your boobs, on the surface of my tummy!)I stop putting fenugreek in my capsules and increase the fennel. It gets rid of that big hard belly feeling.

Yeah... Detox feet pads??? lol.

are u on WU? my bloating only lasted two months, it mite go away by itself? you could try to cut out caffine + fizzy drinks. drink pleantly of water and eat healthy. oohh and regular bowel movements. i dont do this im terrible but the bloating can go away by itself x

Ginger D, sometimes it is "when you take supplements" that makes them work. Acidophilus definitely works but you should take 3 capsules at least 20 mins before you have breakfast every morning. Taking it after every meal does not give the same results. Good luck with the bloating xxx

i no how you feel about your holiday but sadly nbe cant be put on a timescale, dont let it ruin your holiday. thats what i did with brava i schedualed it for my holiday and didnt go because i hadnt seen results. i wish id gone! im now on wu + id love it if by summer i have m dream bod. but for now we have to love what we have got. :o)

Jen-The foot pads bring out toxins through your feet-its quite grose actually-this thick gooey brown stuff is there in the morning stuck to the pads

Elle- iv been on wu for 4 months now-I actually went to my 1 on 1 excersise class and i have put on 10pound since i started-I saw her this week end and she doesnt think its the pills, she thinks im not eating enough which has caused metabalism bla bla to slow right down-I only realy eat once a day you see.
So from today i have to eat breakfast every day and a banana so may be it could be abit of everything

GingerD

GingerD, I was on a crash diet for about 3 months just before taking the herbal pills. So do you think my stomach is bloated due to my now slow metoblism and not the pills. Does that mean the bloating wont go away? My stomach is hard and round but before it was flat. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanx

Glamma-Im abit stuck myself.
This is what iv baught/doing
Drinking loads of lemon tea-this is suposed to flush out toxins
Iv ate breakfast-Grilled toms scrambled eg etc
My Aqua ban has just arrived-But my 1 on 1 class said i had exactly the right water in me not too much not to little so im not sure i need auqaban now
Iv been told to drink at least 1 litre of water on its own a day-which i find very hard
Im waiting for the Colon clenser to arrive
Iv also stopped taking WU at the weekends
I will put detox pad on feet tonight
I have done 100 stomach curls this morning-and been told to do this 3 times aweek
I do reccomend pillates
My target is to shift 2 p0und per week up to the 22nd

My stomach is hard swelled and then there is a layre of wobbly fat, as i said iv put 10 pound on-My thighs are bigger-I brush my legs with a dry chineese brush, to get rid of celulite thats great, but doesnt help the tum,

I have got some i think its doctor bitanicals slimming tea-its got fennel in and i cant stand the taste but i know they help the bloating i got them from tesco or asda etc

Hope this helps-P.s what herbs etc are you on

GingerD, I was taking breast gain plus but I stopped now because this bloating is driving me insane. I've just purchased 2 boxes of bio cleanse from holland and barrett, I'm not sure if its gonna work but fingers crossed. I have just started drinking fennel tea which I also bought from holland and barrett, It tastes like aniseed to me which I like. I also do pilates 3 times a week but it hasn't helped and Im also finding it difficult to drink a liter of water a day. I'll try the lemon tea to see if that helps. I thought that maybe I needed a liver cleanse and have been taking milk thistle for a good while but this buldge ain't budging. Let me know what works for you because Im losing hope of regaining a flat tum. Thanx
