Bloating Symptom Timing Log
Bloating symptom timing log records hours since eating—immediate vs delayed peaks separate fat and carbonation issues from fermentable carb fermentation.
A bloating symptom timing log records when distension starts relative to meals—immediate, two-hour, or next-morning patterns point to different mechanisms. Fast-onset bloat after fizzy drinks or large fat loads differs from delayed gas from fermentable carbs.
Note bowel movements, menstrual phase, and whether you ate while rushed. Timing separates lactose urgency from fructan fermentation that peaks later.
Without clocks, people blame dinner when lunch beans were the driver.

-
When does FODMAP bloating usually appear?
Often two to six hours after eating as colonic fermentation peaks, though individual timing varies. Immediate bloat more often links to swallowing air, carbonation, or large fat loads.
