Woke up with terrible gas..

I woke up this morning with my stomach making the absolute loudest possible noises it's ever made, I'm feeling very gassy and hungry at the same time, I'm a little anxious about the way this is making my stomach feel.. is this normal? It's like a strange.. loud gurgling sound and it's constantly making noises. This is the first time it's done this for a very very long time, Last night for dinner I had sweet and sour chicken with rice and it had red/green peppers in it but I picked those out (I had a bad experience with green peppers a long time ago and they've always been one of my trigger foods).

Any advice?

Lots of fluids and probiotics. I would keep a food journal. You may be allergic to something you ate. Make sure you are not eating late at night. I drink peppermint tea when gassy and it helps. You can also take activated charcoal or Gas-X. They help too.

Hope you feel better!

I agree with increasing your fluids, and also move your body around more to help the digestive system relax, unwind, and enjoy the experience.

Often, digestion anxiety is noted during this stage of the digestion process, so give yourself a pat on the back for writing it out.

Best wishes.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
