Being ill and feeling bloated?

Does anyone ever get sick (cold, throat infection/virus etc) and get bloated as well? I find sometimes when I'm sick I get pretty bloated. I just found out I have a throat virus and I've been so bloated since Sunday when I started having symptoms. I hope I'm not the only one who experiences this because when googled it, I found no related symptoms and no one on CC has ever written about it ..

Being bloated SUCKS! It makes you feel like you're so fat when you know you aren't =( oh and I'm def not preggo. My ex dumped me 3 months ago =( and I'm not a promiscuous one haha.

Been there! I just got over having a mild case of strep and I must've gained 3 lbs of water weight/bloating overnight :o( My doc said something about retaining water (ad nauseum) whilst being sick, but that doesn't make me feel better :o( She recommended drinking as many liquids (waters and unsweetened teas) to, erm, excrete, all toxins and extras liquids in the body during illness.

Hope youre feeling better :o)

Awww thanks so much for your feedback! Ya I'm feeling so gross, ugh. I'll definitely keep drinking fluids. My stomach looks HUGE, I can't leave the house =O

I'm feeling a bit better today, thank you =)
