SIBO (Small intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which many of us have, is the culprit in that lovely end of the day, 4-month pregnant look I am sporting these days. I can't WAIT for the balance to be restored in my intestines and my reasonably flat-ish belly (OK, I did have two kids...) can return. Ugh. I am going to experiment with eating dinner earlier. I am temped to eliminate carbs at dinner but don't think Dr. B would approve. Interested in hearing from folks who currently have or have finally lost the 4 month preggo look. I have read that this eventually is resolved and Dr. Brizman has confirmed this. It was interesting to read about SIBO from a western doc. She differentiates between bloat from gluten intolerance, and bloat from SIBO.
Bloat. Blah!

Hey Mimi,
Hey Mimi,
I have this bloat most of the time. I've had times where it goes away temporarily, but it always returns! I'll be so glad when it's gone!
Thanks Mimi for sharing this!
Thanks Mimi for sharing this! Oh, I wish I knew when that blasted bloat would go away!!!:( I too have had very short periods of time when the bloating seems to be less noticeable, but pretty much a constant issue for me! I guess I know what I can expect to look like at 4-5 months pregnant! So annoying!!
