Hi guys,
I've been vegetarian for about 3 years now and went vegan about 4 weeks ago. I know that bloating is a normal side effect of going vegan from all the extra fibre, but I'm worried that I'm doing something to make it even worse. I'm bloated ALL the time - even when I first wake up in the morning my stomach's like a balloon! I rinse my legumes and beans thoroughly and don't eat fruit right after a meal as I've heard these things don't help with bloating. Is there something else I can do or will my body eventually acclimatise?
