do you eat a lot of bread? i used to and i felt horrible and fat afterwards

TooTicky · 08/09/2006 13:43

I'm non-menstrual at the mo (bf) and don't really get gassy - perhaps I am retaining water. But why?

I don't think it's bread, although I know it can do this.
A big poo? I rarely get time for those!

try cutting down on salt too

TooTicky · 08/09/2006 13:47

I'm neurotic about salt, I know if I have more than a mere smidge it completely dehydrates me. I think it's the worst thing about any food I haven't cooked myself.
