I am in the same boat. I’m 63, 5’9” and have always been thin with no stomach. I am now super thin at 114 pounds, but since going on meds, I have a bloated belly. It sounds the same as you describe yours. I keep thinking, between the antibiotics and probiotics, there’s a war going on in my gut. For the two years before going on the antibiotics, I was under a lot of stress, but this has only happened since starting the meds. Although I do want to say, as a health coach, I am always seeing stress turning into belly fat with clients. Particularly postmenopausal women.

My guess is that the Big 3 cause inflammation of our intestines, and since our intestines are on average 24 feet long, I would certainly expect this bloating.
I’ve only been on the 3 every day for 3 weeks and experience the bloating, stomach aches and nausea.

Having not experienced such bloating before, I thought it must just be the new me 🫤
You and others here have made me feel like I am not alone in this process. Thank you for your time and helpful comments!
