Bloating after every meal is making me miserable.

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed that I’m constantly bloated after each meal, even if it’s a small thing. I’m also struggling to lose any weight . In fact, I feel I’m getting bigger!

I only eat one meal per day because I feel full quickly and I also have some undiagnosed gastric issues (permanent reflux, stomach pain, bloating and random pain).

For example, today around lunch time I had home made chicken curry, a third of a packet of rice, 1x mini naan. I later had some chocolate mini eggs handed out at the office.

I am still very bloated and feel full, not hungry.

I had exploratory abdominal surgery for something unrelated earlier this year, I would have guessed anything sinister would have been spotted then.

Could this be hormonal related? I’m 36.

Hi OP , I'm wondering how you are feeling now? I stumbled on your thread as I feel the same way. Constantly bloated even though I don't think I eat that much. I drink about 3-4 pints of water every day too. It's so frustrating as I never had a problem when I was young!

What is your diet like?
What have you done to resolve the gastric issues?
I find things high in fat or sugar exacerbate my gastric issues. Alcohol, sugar and caffeine bug culprits.
Hormones and stress affect it too.
