I have been struggling with similar issues for a few years. I have done a great cleanse for the past few years (usually once a year) to help me identify any issues that I can’t detect unless I eliminate them from my diet and then add them back in slowly over time to identify if I am sensitive to them. I have found that dairy and sugar are huge culprits, but I also have found not all vegetables are the same. I stay away from nightshade vegetables, such as peppers, eggplants, potatoes and tomatoes.  There are also some berries that fall into this category too. They tend to be a culprit with inflammation for me.  Hope this helps!

Belly bloat can often be the result of an imbalance in gut flora, and certainly candida may be at play. I’m glad to hear you are going to your ND for some guidance. The variety of strands of probiotics could also be a factor, as could food allergies, or poor food combining. If you are having trouble keeping on weight, absorption issues (which can be caused from all of those things I just mentioned) may be another culprit. Keep us posted on your progress!
