I'm sick and tired of being bloated all the time, I don't even feel bloated it's just that my belly is huge and I can't get rid of it ever since I had kids. I look as though I'm 6 months pregnant, I swear. Tiny all over except for my gut. It's ridiculous! There has to be something that I can take that's natural for this. Any ideas?

Are you on any medications that could be causing "the pregnant look"? Some psychotropic medications cause edema/water retention that can accumulate in the lower abdomen. Other medications can cause a lack of tone in the muscles there. Other than eliminating meds that might be contributing to it, I suggest crunches/sit-ups and other forms of exercise, like brisk walking and swimming. Also, try to be aware of your posture. Slouching seems to cause the tummy to protrude.
