Your body cannot be lying to you. If you eat and are still hungry you 
did not get what you need.

Raw fat meat should be enough, theoretically, but I sometimes get 
craving for ice cream or a small can of wild pacific salmon drowned in 
fresh lemon juice, depending on time of day.
I never deny myself.

(BTW I neutralize dome of the poisonous effect of the sweet (and dairy?)
by adding a teaspoon of potassium gluconate powder with the first spoons 
of ice cream.
The canned fish seems digestible since I began supplementing with 
Magnascent iodine.)

The fish/lemon juice/ice cream indicate a calcium deficiency. My guess, 
if anyone knows better please advise.

What are you using for fat?

Food intolerance or allergy. I feel bloated when I eat the wrong things.

AFAIK the only physician who ever did a scientific investigation of the 
cause of gas found it to be caused by incomplete digestion of carbohydrates.
  Analyzed to be hydrogen.

I've known a woman who had been trained not to fart. She was as bloated 
as you say, looked pregnant all the time.
A very low carb diet worked for that, but she could not stay on it, and 
eventually managed to break her childhood training.
She's still low carb, though, with cheats.

Looks like you'll have to do more experimenting with food, and please 
keep in mind the very common deficiencies, such as iodine, magnesium, 
potassium; and calcium for us.
I've recently discovered that for me, iodine (on skin!) is essential for 
proper digestion; Tennant writes for everyone who does not eat lots of 
seaweed. This might be the root of your problem.
