    The main ones you see almost universally are

    • excessive flatulence (it’s gotta come out somewhere),
    • bloating comparable with pregnancy (usually equivalent to what you’d see after several months in, but occasionally people look full term!)
    • Weird gurgling noises in the throat

    There are also things like hiccups, hypersalivation, constipation, and things like that that are common but not guaranteed.

    My daughter has been pretty underweight for a while. I realized she’s had massive farts, and a bit of a big belly given the rest of her relatively small size. She was super hard to burp as an infant (that varies a lot in adults with the condition) and it pretty much stopped after a while. Basically the bloat kills the appetite.
