Bloating 101: Why It Happens & How to Beat the Bloat for Good

Bloating can feel uncomfortable, frustrating, and at times, unpredictable. If you’ve ever wondered why your stomach feels like a balloon after certain meals, it’s time to dig into the real causes of bloating and how you can prevent it.

Common Causes of Bloating

• Eating Too Fast: Swallowing excess air leads to trapped gas.

• High-FODMAP Foods: Certain foods ferment in the gut, causing gas buildup.

• Hormonal Changes: Oestrogen and progesterone fluctuations affect digestion.

• Gut Dysbiosis: An imbalance in gut bacteria can contribute to bloating and discomfort.

The Science of Digestion & Hormones Hormones like cortisol (stress hormone) and Oestrogen directly impact gut function. Chronic stress can slow digestion, while oestrogen dominance can lead to water retention and bloating.

How to Reduce Bloating Naturally ✅ Eat slowly and chew food properly. ✅ Support gut health with probiotics and fibre. ✅ Manage stress levels to lower cortisol. ✅ Hydrate properly and move after meals.
