I really can't eat chinese food, asian, thai and that type of stuff, i do sometimes but whenever i do eat it, it messes me up. First my stomach kills me but i bloat like you wouldn't believe.
I get sharp pains and just such an uncomfortable feeling. After registering at furtonof's which by the way FH had a real problem with and while we were at the store turned to me and said OH This should be a LIW post, let them know your FH has a problem with fortunoff and i said if he has a problem to post it himself and he said he just might lol, anyawys back to the main point, we went to P.F. changs after bc cheesecake factory was a wait and we were starving.
I didnt even eat anything too heavy, i had the steamed shrimp dumplings and cantonese shrimp which came with snowpeas. When i left my house i had form fitting jeans and a form fitting sweater and i felt comfortable after we ate its like i went from flat to looking like im 4 months pregnant lol...today i am still extremely bloated, and its not like some girls i see say 'OMG i am so bloated' and i look at them like no you're really not, for me its all over, like even my waist and hips its insane...those sauces they use kill me.
does this happen to others and this badly? this is why i stay away from this food as much as i can
ETA: i know why im getting bloated, asking if anyone bloats this badly though lol

Re: does this happen to anyone else?
so funny you should mention this
i had chinese food yesterday at 12:30 and i was a MESS until i went to bed - i even woke up a few times
my stomach was KILLING me that i was almost in tears. . . and my body reacted almost like it was 'bad' but it happens every single time . . .
i LOVE chinese food though and still eat it
and i could only wear my 'fat' jeans today too - its all the sodium. . . make sure you cut all the salt out of your diet three days before your wedding and drink lemon water all day!!
i have IBS though so basically - my body reacts this way whenever it feels like it, its fun!

Re: does this happen to anyone else?
i think it's all the sodium and msg they use. I ALWAYS feel sick when i eat chinese food... i'm not a fan of it for that reason. I do okay with thai and japanese (well, japanese is lighter i guess) but i know what you mean.
fh loves chinese food and always gets it when i'm not around. i get bloated but not as bad as you i don't think - just generally feel ill from it.

Do you retain water? I get like that when I have too much sodium. My shoes dont fit., my clothing is uncomfortable.

honestly if it were up to me I would NEVER eat this, i hadn't eaten chinese food in YEARS before i met FH but he LOVES it so much so i compromise sometimes...i always tell him the soy sauce, teriyaki and everything they use has too much salt and makes me retain an insane amount of water.
I wouldnt mind if it was like other girls i see who just get a little belly but its like my whole midsection changes lol
and yeah thats the thing, i have a bad problem with how my body breaks down food, ive had it since i was a kid and have horrible stomach problems, bc of it though it helps me stick to eating healthy most of the time but then there are times i dont have a choice UGH

yeah thats what my post was about i didnt really clarify lol but about how bad i bloat, its so weird. It will go down but for now its so uncomfortable. And its not just like my stomach but my sides too, i noticed when i left the place and how i looked all of a sudden in my clothes lol

yeah my moms friend tells me to boil a bunch of lemons with water and to drink it. I will do it today when i get home. I seriously hate this and its the 2nd time this week i ate it bc he REALLY!!! wanted it but thats it i just cant do it anymore. This isn't worth it
and yeah the pains are horrible too, some ppl just get uncomfortable but it can be painful for some of us

Re: does this happen to anyone else?
yes! I get very very very bloated, to the point where I look hugely pregnant. It happens when eat I a lot of types of food, maybe salt is the common denominator.
I'm pretty thin and when I wake up in the morning I have a flat stomach. However, if I eat certain things I get SOOO bloated, my stomach just gets huge.
I have Crohns (IBD) and the year before I was diagnosed it was so bad that I had to buy new clothes... I used to tell FH 'i'm really not this fat!!' and show him my stomach normally....
I still get bloated sometimes but I've just gotten used to it. It's really bad for me if i drink anything carbonated, and salt could be affecting me too....

i did drink 2 glasses of water with a lemon in while i was eating but the hot water with it will be alot better.
Even now im drinking water non-stop.
forget this im not eating it again...i dont like it too much to begin with, i like dumplings, spring rolls and stuff like that but other than that i really can live without it lol

Re: does this happen to anyone else?
also if it just works out that fh wants chinese i will get steamed chicken with brown rice, NO sauce or seasoning... and add my own low sodium soy sauce or just eat it plain. it's boring but it doesn't bother my stomach.

Re: does this happen to anyone else?
My father used to have this problem... I think it's the MSG used in the cooking. He used to ask for it without this and if they could do it- it would really help. Here's some info on MSG (might have to copy/ paste link)

oh yeah i know its the salt lol, i was just curious if anyone bloats this badly though lol.
It is bad, and all of a sudden clothes that fit and even lets say a little loose all of a sudden won't even fit. Today i am wearing a shirt that is normally pretty big on me, its one of those long shirts and meanwhile i feel fat in it now

Yup when you are drinking it hot it is so much better if you can live without it then better for your stomach I know it is such a crappy feeling
