I sure hope so. My pattern of bloating over the last few years has been rather odd. Thanks to the Pill, I get my periods on a Friday. On Wednesday of the week before my period, I bloat up by at least 3 pounds. I then spend Friday going to the bathroom. By the end of the following week--when my period actually starts--I've bloated up again and usually spend the following Tuesday going to the bathroom. So, all told, my bloat lasts a week and a half out of a four-week cycle, no matter what I eat or drink or how much I exercise. This is unacceptable!!!
