Reasons for bloating and how to help with it

Tw: Despite this being a mostly normal post abt bloating, it does mention eating disorders/ disordered eating behaviours, if u find this triggering, proceed with caution and don't follow me

Post below the cut

I split the post into three parts (general tips, linfatic system and immediate bloating from overeating/bingeing), and this ig will serve as the introduction, as I didn't write one.

General tips:

Sleep: females need between 8-10hrs per night, higher amounts in different parts of your cycle too. Men need 7-8 only

Laxatives: laxatives can actually cause constipation so if they're not having an affect on you it's actually better to go easy on them. Also if they're causing you pain, they're causing damage to ur digestive system which may require surgeries later to fic and let's be honest most people don't have the money for that. Laxatives should NOT be overused in any way and i wanted to add that in cuz i forgot at first but also harm reduction/health and safety ig so please stay safe people

Water: drinking between 2-3.5L water/day is very important.

Fiber- fiber is extremely important to keep a good digestive health, pack your diet with fiber (veggies, fruits, wholegrain/wholewheat things, anything that says it's high in fiber too)

Hot liquids- can help with constipation

Black coffee- helps with constipation+good for liver health and only like 2cals unless u get the instant stuff which is like 17 cals (Don't exaggerate on the coffee tho, and if you have anemia or any heart/ anxiety related problems i don't reccommend it at all)

Peppermint and ginger can help your digestive sytem get to work apparently (my source for this one was literally a quick google search but it was on a medical article so do with that info what you will)

Avoid carbonated drinks. Once in a while it's ok, but other than the fact that drinking them often can cause kidney stones, they can cause bloating

Eating too fast can cause bloating

Food high in salt or spice can also increase water retention and cause bloating (tho spicy things are a natural appettite suppressant and i think i've heard they help you have a bowel movement, and that can help.

Also, stress can cause a spike in cortisol levels, which ,when exagerated, could maybe make you grow a tiny bit of fat, not smth u rly should be worrying abt, maybe like a short meditation video every once in a while and avoiding too much coffee ( a couple of mugs prob won't do much, again it's rly not smth to be super stressed abt), also overexercising can cause an increase in cortisol (in which case Also, stress can cause a spike in cortisol levels, which ,when exagerated, could maybe make you grow a tiny bit of fat, not smth u rly should be worrying abt, maybe like a short meditation video every once in a while and avoiding too much coffee ( a couple of mugs prob won't do much, again it's rly not smth to be super stressed abt), also overexercising can cause and increase in cortisol in which case, salty food is prob a bbetter option, altho u will have to. Drink even more water, but don't forget your electrolytes!

Especially after long periods of malnourishment, your digestive system can have some trouble digesting the food you're eating, which can cause bloating.

Also make sure to note how ur body reacts to different types of food as food sensitivities can also be the cause fo bloating.

Linfatic system:

Bloating can be due to improper drainage of linfatic fluid (which is for the most part normal and prob not something rly bad but if ur worried u can go to the doctor ig, most people get it once in a while and our malnourished or bingey selves prob get it even more)

Water helps with the digestive system but also this one.

Things like not wearing clothes that are too tight, a healthy and balanced diet, and regular physical activity can rly help with maintaining a proper functioning of the linfatic system

For debloating to do with this, you can try stretching/yoga. Also linfatic drainage massages so massaging (especially on ur legs and arms) can help, u can also lay on the floor with your legs up straight against the wall, for about five minutes which could hypotheticlaly help

Immediate bloating from overeating/ bingeing:

The general tips above help but here are some extra things from when you're bloated from overeating/bingeing:

Abdominal massages also really help with bloating (make sure to do circular motions and horizontal motions too not just straight movements up and down ur stomach. Also going from ur hip bone up is a really good movement for the massage)

Lastly, here are some debloating stretches for if u overeat/binge and the bloat is painful this can help debloat or, at the very least, reduce the pain:

Reminder that you can't get rid of normal weight fluctuation, yes bloating can be the cause of it but ur weight may fluctuate for many other reasons like hormones too, especially during certain times in ur cycle, mostly due to again ur muscles just reataining water).That doesn't mean u should dry fast like not have water as water helps more than bloats, if anything, (also helps u lose weight and reduces ur appettite, and even helps u with working out and stuff, what's not to love?) and when you dry fast, u lose water weight so u think u lost a lot more weight than u did, so when u start drink water again, you'll be even more worried and think u gained a ton out of nowhere cuz u thought u lost a lot during the fast. Also it's rly dangerous and terrible for ur health. There's no benefit, not even for wl, that dry fasting can give you.

Idk if there's anything i haven't mentioned out of the most important things so i think that's all. Thank you for being patient and taking the time out of your day to read this to help yourself, youu deserve good things. You should def try to read some of this stuff on ur own too, i don't guarantee that i always have 100% of my info correct i'm only human and, again, not a professional, just a nerd. Stay safe ♡)

I'm going to do the coin/button jar trick × 3. One jar for days without binging and one jar for goal calories met or under (600 per day 5 days a week and 800 exception allowed 2 days and one jar for 10,000 steps a day or 30 minutes on a treadmill (with chronic pain and hypermobility 10,000 steps is the easiest exercise for me.

The button jar trick is an extrinsic motivation tool to help you stop a harmful behavior. For each day you go without, you put a button/coin/whatever small item in the jar and that way you can physically see how much progress you've made. If you slip, you dump the jar and start over again. For each milestone (you can pick what consists of a milestone), you get a reward. Whatever you deem to be a reward.

For binging, I think I'll go neon buttons, for calories, I'll go black, white, and rainbow and for exercise, I'll go pastel buttons. I chose colors I like so they'll serve as desk decoration.

I think it's really funny when fundies are also super into the crunchy lifestyle like bestie your whole system is based on a dude with magical powers born from a virgin you can take a tylenol and stop feeding your infant raw milk now

#I always bring it up #but me @ my aunt that scoffed at me for using my nebulizer while actively having a severe asthma attack #and I mean severe I had to use double my dosage before I could breathe without wheezing and coughing again #I 100% should've been in the hospital #I respect the crunchy life when it's shit like colds and scrapes and aches #absolutely not when it's an asthma attack or PCOS #and doubly not when your CHILD is the sick one #I assume most of the crunchiness comes from the adversion to medicine over prayer #because that implies that there are things that can't be prayed away #And it implies that if you pray and stay healthy that's proof of your worth and praying power #So when someone does get sick and/or die well that's just apart of his plan at least you can say you didn't fight his plan #It's not a preventable illness if you ignore/don't learn how to prevent it /j #every day I wake up and learn another disease raw milk can give you /j #ED tw #And everyday I use to wake up to my stepmom doing a different 'diet' #They 100% encouraged eating disorders both in restricting and binging #Feel bad?

I gotta say one thing I love about having phases of wanting to read is that when i'm in a phase where I'm not reading as much, I can stock pile for when I do read more, and I love feeling that excitement of being able to read the stuff I stockpile as I can feel a reading phase approaching :3

#diye speaks #like!!! I'm so fucking hyped to be able to read Mill's stuff and the untitled bloodbag story that I have bookmarked!!!! #And also Emmett's and JJ's stuff!!!!!!!! #im so fucking excited for that reading binge!!!!!!! #it works out so well bc I'm less likely to not have stuff to read while having that reading phase and thus less likely to prevent frustrati #frustration* #anyway this is also me feeling I can feel a reading phase coming up somepoint soon and I'm *hyped*

So my bf doesn’t realise I have eating issues which is good for me bc it means I don’t have to work hard to hide shit but oh god does he sometimes accidentally trigger me.

He made food and I gave myself a tiny portion. But then after I finished it, I realised I was still just a bit too hungry and asked if I could get myself a second serving of the two whole portions he had left over. I wasn’t even planning on taking a lot just a few spoonfuls more to get my hunger to a manageable level where I’m not going to be too hungry later which could lead to a binge. But he flat out said no that he wanted it for later - which don’t get me wrong is very fair. It’s his food that he bought and made from scratch. But I know myself and I know that now I will just avoid eating for at least the rest of the day and my brain will make him saying no into a “motivator” to ⭐️ve. Already my brain is saying he said no to food so now we can’t eat anything else for the rest of the day. In the end he did offer me the second portion but bc he’d said no earlier I now didn’t want it. Which looks like I’m just being petty when in reality I’m not and it’s just that I now cannot eat.

#am just going to fill up on 0cal monster and hope that prevents the urge to binge later

What up y’all I was eating normally but I’m a little sick now which fucked up my appetite and decided to start calorie counting again so I’m back let’s goooo

I hate how when I was making myself an iced coffee my mom looked at me adding some syrup n said “you know that’s a lot of sugar.” Like stfu n let me enjoy my lil treat.

#Having a sugary drink to sip on through the day prevents me from binging #Also it gives me the energy to work out which I’ve been skipping this week #Screaming

Ok the bit about the Ramsian Doctrine and junk food people gave me genuine shivers tho

And also led to a weird existential epiphany that it doesn't MATTER whether or not a god or religion is real so long as people will kill and die in the name of it

#it doesn't matter that the deity a saint was martyred for doesn't exist when the saint was willing to be martyred for it #it doesn't matter if god isn't real when the inquisition tortured and murdered hundreds in the name of god #the reason doesn't matter just what is done for that reason #a crown of candy #d20 #dimension 20 #tw religion #I may have stayed up until 7 am binging through the naval battle episode #because clearly that's healthy behavior that will prevent existential dread #like personally as an atheist it just makes the world scarier to have that thought #worshipping the bulb is kind of like worshipping the sun or electricity #especially if other types of magic are idk wind or hydraulic power

binges in movies are always so aesthetic and for what. always some skinny girl with a whole cake seductively licking the icing off her fingers and taking dainty little bites with her petite little hands like bitch no I look like an animal at the zoo during feeding time

Having hap problems... i finished the socks this morning and decided to frog the old hap progress (which im glad i did) and re-evaluate what i was trying to do here. Since i dont currently have the brainpower to do the recreation of a traditional hap that i planned, i figure if nothing else i still want a warm, practical, and non-delicate shawl of some kind. But after a bit of ravelry scrolling im realizing that i don't think i have the yardage to do that :( i never measured all of it but if i kept consistent with the first skein, which i think i did, i have around 815 yards (745 meters) of light worsted yarn. And everything that ticks the boxes of 'uncomplicated' and 'looks warm' requires like double the yardage that i have.

#so essentially the problem is that i dont have enough yardage for a shawl and i probably never have #but i do want to make a shawl with it. so you can see the conundrum im running into #im considering dragging the rigid heddle loom back out and just weaving one bc i know i will have enough yardage then #but i dont wanna >:( if anything id rather weave it on a warp weighted loom (which i dont have) #i guess the other option is to knit a shawl using other yarn.... #see but then i wont have a hap and i want a hap and not a shawl ! #yeah my brains just going in circles today lads #i woke up at 5 in the morning checked my email and saw i seem to have gotten the job i applied for (yay) #and that i had to complete an online seminar. and it was early and i hadnt had my coffee so i just started it without checking to see #what it was about. which was 'how to recognize and prevent CSA'. they had a section at the beginning that was like #'if youre a victim of csa this is gonna be upsetting as shit ! so you should talk to your supervisor and ask to skip this' #like ah yes ill just start my first conversation with a new boss by saying 'hi im a csa victim !' thats exactly what i want to do for sure #so... anyway yeah it was a very unpleasant hour and ive been deeply out of it ever since. and still am but also annoyed about hap problems #knitting #csa tw #(for tags) #i guess if nothing else it says good things about my mental health that im not currently binge drinking and walking into freeway traffic #because thats absolutely how i would have reacted in the past and instead today i wrote in my journal a little #and talked to my fiance a little and then thought about textiles for. in retrospect. 10 straight hours #but it still would be nice to maybe not have had to deal with this at all #the last several therapist ive seen have all said that if i want to unfuck my brain i need an intense outpatient program and multiple #therapists working on me at once and well i havent done that because im not a millionaire. so i assume my brain is still fucked #and im just a lot better at pretending it isnt so as to not self destruct constantly #idk. :/
