Bloat?

[mick-G]

I don't know if any you bros have this problem, but my lower stomach is always bloated. I don't drink beer only drink socially, and very little. My diet is good and I workout like at least five days wk. I also do 3.5 miles cardio eod.. I'd like to get some good abs I can see by late spring. I can see where muscle is, but this bloat sticking out. I look like i have this good body then towards bottom sticking out? Oh, i do have protein drinks to supplement, but at the most 3 drinks. Usually 2. What up with this? Any suggestions or diet tips would be great!

maybe you need soem fiber to clean out your intestinal tract

someone once suggested that too much wheat will make you bloated

Where do you get this at. I know i replyed to post about bloat awhile ago and said to avoid wheat. I just eat rye in morning w/breakfest. I don't no what to do though. I looks kinda funny i have good uper torso and then bump. Not real big, but its hiding muscle.

This is what I eat to get fiber:

Oatmeal
Black Beans!
High Fiber Bran Cereal
Most Veggies have fiber as well

Those are just a few off the top of my head, there are most likely a lot more. -crombie09

You can also get fiber supplements at the drug store or walmart...etc.

Thats right, but isn't fiber from food better? Thats what I heard. -crombie09

Most supplemental fiber that I know of is soluble. Try Fiber-One cereal. Take it slowly to begin with!!! It has 14g of insoluble fiber. A few weeks of this and you will wonder where “it” all came from. I like the taste of it, some don’t. It mixes well with almost any cereal, but especially well with Koshi’s Go-Lean Crunch. (there is a version that is not “crunch”, not as tasty)

Doesn't this cereal have wheat fiber in it though? This is why I was trying to avoid wheat products. I understand what you are trying to have me do and I don't have a problem with that. I have heard that too much fiber can cause the bloat though and thats what i'm trying to avoid. I know Kashi, is good cereal. Crunch is great, regular sucks IMO. I liked the Natures Path, but alot of fiber. I eat 5-6 egg whites with 1-2 yolks, one piece rye toast lightly marg, oatmeal, and protein shake whey CFM and add 1 tsp of glut powder, plus morning supplements for breakfast. I work in healthfoods. I remember the Soeme' now. If i remember correctly, it comes in a brown bottle liquid #7 and a powder #9. I think i will try the liquid #7 stuff. I was just wondering if the aas I'm doing oraly will have less of an effect though if i take the Soeme'#7, as it says it can deplete supplemental nutrients that pass through digestive tract. Maybe I'll just put up with it till this cycle is over, then try the liquid. PS: Whats a fast way of accumulating posts, lol! Thanks fellas for input, Mick

Momentary lapse of intelligence with the Kashi recommendation. Although I didn’t think Fiber-One had wheat, but just checked the box and it does. Fiber will cause bloating at first due to the increased gas you may have. However in the long run your body will adjust and the gas issue will resolve itself. Most people get gas when eating fibrous foods, such as beans. I eat chili almost everyday, and I no longer have gas issue due to that.

I cannot comment on AS. Obviously you feel that the bloating is not due to this. You know your body better than I.

If you feel that this is related to AS you should post your question in that forum. Be sure to mention the exact type and dosages.

or ask maki

I did have this all the time even before doing aas? I will ask maki.
