Hi All,

Hi there. Usually when I bloat and have gas it is because I ate something that didn't agree with my intestines. Try avoiding what you ate right before you bloat. I have been diagnosed in 2003 but had symptoms since 1988. Had to figure out what my diet was in 1994. Everyone with Crohn's have different diets. Eat whatever doesn't bloat you and huty you.
