Increased carbs = bloating

[mybell]

I've upped to maintence calories, to do this I've had to add in more carbs, could this be a reason why I'm feeling a little more bloated and my lower tummy is harder and out more.

The carbs I've added, basically more oatmeal, brown rice and yams. along with my veggies and 1 or 2 fruits a day.

That will go away pretty soon.

like said, your body will adjust in a few days.

heck yeah that is why you are more bloated :p Anytime I eat more oatmeal, rice, etc, I bloat out like a baloon- I find that drinking extra water helps with all that fiber!!
