Feeling really bloated, what can help?

[Anonymous]

Going to see Bruno Mars on Friday night and I just feel totally bloated. Belly feels pushed out and filled with fluid. What can I do get rid of by Friday 5pm? I found some old blood pressure pills (basically water pills) to take, but is there anything else that might help?

Are you sure it's not constipation?

Magnesium... be near a private bathroom

No starch/carbs, minimal to no salt, eat steamed veggies and protein (but no broccoli family), guzzle water and green tea until your pee is basically clear, do low intensity exercise every day

I would not take blood pressure pills that are not prescribed to you for the purpose of controlling your BP.

+1 Don't take "old pills" that haven't bee prescribed for the current ailment.


No cruciferous veggies, healthy diet with no salt, lots of water, exercise. And recognize that though your belly feels very pushed out, nobody is going to be looking at you and noticing it and you don't need to undertake emergency behaviors to rectify this feeling.

Pineapple.
i lived in Colombia for a couple of months and they'd make this pineapple and mint drink -- so good. i'd feel so skinny the next day. throw pineapple, water, ice and mint into a mixer.

Try Turmeric or Peppermint tea.
