Paul is right on -(Don't go getting a big head from this,Paul)
I have had the same experience with my 12yr old. Two years ago he bloated
and I had not been able to get him back to his ideal weight. He looked like
he was starving even though I kept increasing his food. I was really
worried about giving him too much kibble because I knew he would probably
bloat again. On several occasions I needed to give gas-x because he looked
like he ate a watermelon.
Since he has been on totally raw he has gained back his weight and is a nice
82 lbs. I never see that full bloated look and they don't run to drink
gallons of water after eating.
I like it a lot.
