I’ve been really struggling with this, especially after dinner/at night! It’s very tight and uncomfortable, so I’ve also been searching for some relief. I saw this “prebiotic soda” ginger lime flavor (for $2.50 a can-ugh!) at the grocery store the other day, and decided to try it on a whim. I drank some before and during dinner, when the bloating tends to be the worst, and it seemed to help (although who knows if it’s just a placebo effect!) Pre-pregnancy I would drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before dinner if I knew I was going to have a carb-heavy meal. I might try that again. I also used to be a seltzer water junkie-lived and died by my sodastream!- but I pretty much cut that out altogether now since the carbonation seems to make the belly tightness worse.
I know I’m probably the only one in my life who is really noticing the bloating right now, but we have a few friends that we see regularly enough, and and I don’t really want to tell them up for another 4 weeks! So I’m trying to find a good solution, for meal time!
Here is a link to the soda for anyone who is interested. The main ingredient is ACV anyways! https://www.amazon.com/poppi-Sparkling-Prebiotic-Immunity-Benefits/dp/B084KXX75P/ref=asc_df_B084KXX75P/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459768996896&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3075840873571704075&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt...
