I had this problem EVERY day!
I’d wake up feeling light, have a "sensible" breakfast, and head off to work feeling like a normal human being.
But by mid-afternoon? Total nightmare.
My stomach would get tight, uncomfortable and gassy. Not just "full" after a meal, but constantly distended.
I’d be sat at my desk, subtly undoing the top button of my trousers and praying no one would ask me to stand up for a meeting. By the time I was on the train home, I looked six months pregnant and trying not to let off gas.
I eat healthy, but still, the bloat followed me everywhere.
The GP "Wild Goose Chase"
I did what we all do. I booked in with my local GP.
I waited weeks for an appointment, did the blood tests, the "samples," and even a breath test.
Every time, the result was the same:
"Everything looks normal, Jessica. You're probably just a bit stressed. Try more fibre."
I was gutted. I knew my body, and this didn't feel "normal." So, I went down the rabbit hole.
