IM ALWAYS SO BLOATED! Its crazy, anything I eat, im bloated. I don't think im constipated because I have at least one bowel movement a day, but the bloating is crazy. ITs usually my upper abdominan, sometimes the lower. And another symptom I have is I never feel like I can finish a bowel movement. Its terrible. can you be bloated without constipation or diarehea? Suggestions? :D

Are you eating lots of fibers?  I have been very bloated, but recently realised that eliminating fibers (especially insoluble) really helps! You need to try for at least a week or two. I am still a little bloated, but it's WAY better now. Good luck.

Yes you can be bloated without having diarrhea or constipation. Try keeping a food diary and tracking how you feel and the degree of bloating. Distension can often come from foods that aren't being digested properly and you have to try to track down the cause. If you have to, try some exclusion diets. Some typical culprits can be dairy products, high fructose corn syrup, and gluten (wheat, rye, barley, etc). Diets high in carbohydrate can also cause bloating.
