Anyone have any idea what would cause a bloated stomach if it's not from eating
too much?? Too much salt intake? Dehydration? I am perpetually suffering with a
bloated stomach that is driving me insane and I'd like to solve it somehow, as
it really is quite uncomfortable to run with....

any ideas would be tremendously appreciated!

happy running

I am sensitive or allergic, a substance found in wheat and some other grains. I
always had a bloated belly, until I stopped eating wheat products (which is
tougher than it sounds...no bagels, no pasta, no pastrys or cake...no bread)
Although I love bagels, I love a flat stomach and increased energy levels more.

I'm unclear about what you're describing and when it's occurring. All the time
that you're running? Beginning of a run? End of one? Even if you don't eat/drink
while running?

More info, please.

It may be a food allergy. The only thing to do is to take very
good notes and cut down on everything for a week, i.e., eat only
benign foods like rice. Then add other things one at a time for
a week. Unfortunately, this is a tedious process...

Or you may wish to visit an allergist and do some tests that
way. My allergist gave me clues that I may be lactose intolerant,
but it was my own "research" that proved it to my own satisfaction.
