Bloating after lunch

Question
Glyn
I hope you can help.Its driving both of us crazy!
Hi
My husband has a big belly, although not fat-the rest of him is pretty skinny.He is built like hid Dad so it may be genetic.
He has been checked for celiac, and has done elimination diets, but cant find anything wrong.Trust me he has tried everything to shrink his pregnant lady look, including lots of supplements, exercises, he even quit drinking his beer.
THe strangest thing is that his belly gets much bigger after lunch,even a light salad. It expands so much he has to let out his belt three notches.If he eats a sandwich or something fairly substantial he actually has to lie down. He used to fall asleep but has cut out most of the processed carbs which has helped with THAT problem but not the distension.
He has even  been going to the gym (eat and run at the Y) then having lunch but it hasnt helped.
His belly doesnt get bigger after lunch or supper, just lunch?!
So, he has a slightly bigger breakfast, skips lunch, has an apple in the afternoon and eats a normal supper.
He is starving when he gets home but eats slow and doesnts overcompensate and overeat.He is still eating the same number of calories-roughly 1500 (Any more and he gets a lot of discomfort)
BTW holday meals and dinners out are hell for him-he cant eat much at once.
Question: Is it possible that at that time of day, his system just isnt functioning 100%? Do some people bodies have cycles when they digest better at certain parts of the day?
I have heard that in some countries they dont even eat lunch, just a light breakfast and one evening meal.
Yes he has tried enzymes and probiotics-no help.
Thanks!

I have read your post and I'm really desperate to help you.
I am going to discuss this with another specialist friend of mine before I make any suggestions.

I am sure I have something that can help but would like to confirm my suggestions before I post them on here.

I appreciate that this doesn't help at the moment but I will have some answers for you in a day or two.
