Short answer: yes, the pill can sometimes cause the side effect of feeling bloatedAs for water retention, not as likelyBut jumping to a high fiber diet can, much more frequently than the pill, cause the sensation of bloating High fiber often equals higher gas production, especially if you suddenly increase the fiber in your dietDon't stop eating fiber, thoughWhat you might do is try to increase it by about 5 gper week over 4 weeks to an ideal 25g./day for an adultThat will make it a bit easier on your systemAlso, watch the sodium in your dietShoot for 2g/day maxHigh sodium can cause you to retain fluids.
