How To Treat Severe Abdominal Bloating Caused After Taking Lithium?

Hi I am on lithium tablets and take 3 a night. I have been on lithium tablets for approx 3 months for my bi polar condition. The only major effect is a constant bloated stomach and its really embarrassing. I have had numerous people ask me if I am pregnant otherwise I am a normal weight. I have never been a fat person unitl now. I eat well. Is there any medication I could take with the lithium to stop the bloating? Thanks for your advise.
