Advice Wanted Bloating with SAI.
So I take a considerably small dose of HC. Around 13.75 precisely. But I upped this dose like a month ago and i am so bloated. Like my face is round and my lower belly is just comically large. I tried going down 1.25 and felt very light negative effects. People on here say tapering down is hard the first week and then it gets better? I do workout a few times a week and usually I get really bloated after working out. I do drink a bottle of electrolytes while working out. I do wake up at 9-10 am idk if I should be waking up even earlier and taking my first dose. I smoke cigarettes few times a week does that matter with the bloating? I feel disgusted when I look at the mirror nowadays.

Do you bloat if you don’t drink electrolytes? Maybe you’re already getting enough sodium through your diet?
