Remedies for the bloat, other than Gatorade?
I LOOK LIKE I'M 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH QUADS! 
... ok .. that's a minor exaggeration, but I am hugely bloated to the point of limping around and moaning around the house!! Any remedies besides Gatorade? They said when I left from the ER to have salty foods so I had Chinese food. Baaad idea 
Between my bloated belly and my bruised PIO butt, I'm just a big ball of fun this weekend!

Gas ex? I always take it after trigger ad it helps a little. Can you take a water pill?

 That's interesting.. I know the bloating is from fluid buildup so I can't imagine gas x would help.... I'm already 4 days post trigger so I am probably already doomed! 
I look like if you poke me with a pin I'll just deflate!  Hmm.. there's an idea.........

To be honest, nothing helped!
Just time 
Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better. I was a bit better by 5 days after retrieval.

Re: Remedies for the bloat, other than Gatorade?
They told me my pain was from fluid too. I normally get it when I O, really bad, but worse from the trigger. I just took the gas ex b/c I was desperate and figured if whatever gas was in my belly would dissapate, it would make room for the fluids  Like I said- desperate.
I hope it goes away soon!

I was told to limit fliud intake - especially water. I drank gatorade and V8 (8 ounces per day for like a week after ER). Feel better!

Like PP's said, time is the only help or at least for me. I started to feel better after about 4 days most times. My last cycle, that I never made to transfer it was like a week before I started to feel better.

Re: Remedies for the bloat, other than Gatorade?
I hope you are feeling better. When I was dealing with OHSS my doc told me to limit fluids and salt.... and NO Gatorade. I hope you find what works for you!
