Although I'm currently in remission, i still get bloated on almost a daily basis. Sometimes it's more painful that others, and i'm just wondering if anyone else experiences it. Sometimes I think it's just gas pains, or I just need to go to the bathroom. Other than that I feel healthy, so I have no idea if it means anything or not.

Gluten does that to me. Try a few of days of not eating anything with gluten (mostly anything made with wheat, like bread or pasta or most cereals). See if it helps. You'll be able to tell the difference in just a few days, if that's what is causing it.

I got horrible bloating from foods high in fructose. It turned out I was fructose intolerant. And then I also got horrible bloating from Lialda. It's a side effect of mesalamines.

I'm bloated constantly and makes me very uncomfortable! I think it could be the Lialda, like Subdued mentioned. I'm going to try to experiment with my diet and see how that goes...

Good luck!

I'm not on Lialda but I will try to experiment with glutton and fructose. Thank you guys for responding!

Are you taking probiotics? I find they really help.

Also, Asacol is the same medication as Lialda, just a different delivery system (both are Mesalamine). I have problems with bloating on oral 5 ASA's.
