It is a chronic problem for me.

I have bloating.....and for quite awhile I thought it was from my cooking. When I was finished cooking a meal I felt like I already had my share. It doesn't last too long, but it does a number on my appetite.

Hi. Mickey22. You'll find there are quite a few people with COPD who also have bloating. It's a common co-ailment with COPD. There are various theories why. There's some articles on the site if you're interested, such as this one (
https://copd.net/living/bloating-why-what-to-do/) There are also some written by fellow COPDers, like Derek (https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-1/) and (https://copd.net/living/bloating-part-2/) John. Site Moderator.

Hi mickey22 and thanks for your post. The bloating you mention has also been questioned by other community members at various times throughout the years. I thought you might find this article on that very topic will provide you with a little more insight for your concern: https://copd.net/living/bloating-why-what-to-do/.
