Why am I always so bloated?

[HandyAndy]

I notice that when I wake up in the morning I look my slimmest. At the end of the day I look bigger than I did hours ago. This happens everyday Im no where near how I look at the end of the day when I look at myself in the morning. Are there foods that are causing this and what can I do to prevent or treat this?

Im also starting to drink lots of water a day, this would help flush out the stored water in my body.

How much milk are you having? This is the most likely cause.

Although it could be a any number of several dozen food allergies.

 

[HandyAndy]

the milk i drink is in my protein shakes and thats all, i dont really eat cereal and other things that include milk

everyone is skinner in the morning and more bloated at night.

 

[HandyAndy]

yeah penkitten i was just wondering what was causing this its been happening for a while now

Why do you think

 

[BMX]

Some people get the CreaBloat when they are on the creatine and fail to hydrate sufficiently. But this is probably not your case and more like what PenGato said.

Why do you think

because i eat all day and actually weigh more at night.
i am also taller in the morning , and it is because i am wore out and slump by nightfall a half an inch.

Andy, it is probably being caused by an allergy to something. Most likely are dairy products because of lactose intolerance.

It could be any number of things however. After a meal see how you feel, if you feel particularly bloated there is a good chance something in that meal is causing the problem. If you think something is a problem, remove it and see how you feel. If the problem improves then it is likely you have a food allergy to that product.

You could also have poor digestion. There is a test over on IA's for this by Poliquin, you could try it if you like. It involves betaine hydrochloride.

Hmm, ive never really tracked how i feel after eating. Its usually after carbs, rice potatoes and stuff. But it seems like that after everything I eat.

You eat carbs in the day, hence water is stored in the body and your glycogen levels are full. This makes you look bloated. But if you were ripped, your muscles would just look big and full with a lean appearance.
