Bloated... What can i do?
I have been eating so many veggies that last couple of days and now I am bloated. Is there any correlation or am I just full of water? Need help how do i eleviate some of the bloat?

High intake of fiber can actually lead to bloating since fiber slows down the digestive process and also water gets trapped. I get this ALOT also which is a pain since I love fruit and vegetables, but sometimes at the end of the day it looks like a grew a nice little beer belly. Only really happens when I eat around 70g of fiber though so my sugestion is to keep eating fruit and vegetables but mabye focus on less fiberous ones like tomatoes, bananas, mangos, mellons, and carrots are a few examples.
To eleviate it I think besides buying medication is just give it a little time and it usually goes away, body just has to catch up with the digestion of the food/fiber.
Just a warning, are you drinking more milk then you used to? Being lactose intollerant can lead to a extreme amount of bloating. Also eating more protein then usual can lead to bloating also because of the extra energy needed to digest protein.

Really protein. Yes I have been eating alot of turkey the last few days. Trying to incorporate more protein. I have had about 4 oz lunch and dinner and alot of cauliflower and broc and carrots. I am just going to wait it out but its funny u mentioned beer belly because that is what it looks like...lol no milk i dont like it.
