Brief Answer:
may be related to diet change
Detailed Answer:
HI , thanks for using healthcare magic
If by eating healthier, you mean more fruits and vegetables and more fiber, then it is possible that these are contributing to your symptoms.
There are some fruits, vegetables such as brussel sprouts, cabbage,broccoli, XXXXXXX cauliflower, carrots, prunes, apples, apricots.
Beans can also have this effect.
An abrupt increase in whole grain fiber can also cause increased bloating.
You may need to consider decreasing these vegetables and fruits , if you are currently using them
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
