Oh yes, I understand the stomach bloating! I am overweight due to lack of exercise because of a neurological condition causing severe problems with walking/balance/falling, and sometimes I feel like my stomach is going to "fall off" and I reach down & hold it for relief. I know, it sounds crazy, so I normally don't even say it to anyone!😉

If you have MS, you may have gastroparesis, where the muscles don’t work properly to move the food through, I have it and manage it by smaller meals, well chewed, less fibre and polyethylene glycol. Hope this helps. Jane

@pkh3381 You say that you have a neurological condition that causes severe problems with walking and balance. Do you ever have physical therapy to help with these problems? Physical therapy can also help with seated exercises and help to prevent bloating.
Can you call your doctor tomorrow and ask for a PT referral?
