What Causes Bloating After Having Carb Diet?

Hello. I have been feeling bloated for a while. I recently changed my eating habits and cut down on carbs quite a bit. I also started taking the pill a month ago. Since a week ago i just finished my period and have been slackin on my healthy eating and taking in more carbs and less workinh out than i was used to. I have been feeling really bloated like a rock of air trapped in me and feels like im getting my period and cant stop eating carbs. Is it ibs or the carbs or anything else? Im not due my next period for another almost 3 weeks

Hello
You are feeling bloating all the time , craving for Carbohydrate diet , eating all the time ( according to query ) and also taking pill .
All these symptoms may be due to these reasons .
1 Hyper acidity , caused together by carbohydrate diet ( due to in excess , pill ) .
In my opinion try to avoid spicy , greasy foods , also avoid sweets , pizza, burger, chocolates . Also take some antacid but if bloating is severe ,you may need tablets like pantoprazole-d once or twice in day .
2 Over eating the main cause of bloating due to indigestion , so try to control this and be careful.
3 Since you mentioned that there is strong desire for carbohydrate so I recommend you get in blood for sugar level to rule out diabetes ( this is also a common cause of bloating ).
According to this query , you don't have IBS , so need not to worry.
So consult your physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
