Looking For Bloating Relief? First Learn the Causes

I presume if you're here you experience a bloated stomach sometimes? I suffer with it too, in fact I have done for pretty much all my adult life.

One thing I've learned is that if you're looking for bloating relief it pays to understand the underlying causes. I've personally found most benefit in prevention rather than cure.

Stomach bloating is caused by gas. That gas is caused by undigested food in your gut which has begun to rot and ferment. It is not a pleasant image!

For whatever reason, undigested food is reaching your gut. It then sits there and begins fermenting, thus creating gas, which causes the evil bloating.

So why doesn't food get digested properly in the first place? Why does the bloating occur?

It could feasibly be for all kinds of reasons. You might only actually suffer for one or two of these reasons. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list, but it might give you some ideas of where to begin looking:

Intestinal gas-caused by good old-fashioned indigestion!

Trapped wind-caused by wind being unable to find the emergency exit... joke!

IBS-or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A disease of the digestive system.

Dysmotility-otherwise known as slow digestion.

Candidiasis-a fungal yeast infection, usually nothing serious and easily treated.

Coeliac disease-an over-reacting immune system triggered by gluten-containing food such as wheat-based products like bread and biscuits.

PMS-Pre-Menstrual Syndrome

Food intolerance-your body not taking kindly to some of the things you throw in there, often caused by wheat or dairy.

Poor diet or eating habits-eating the wrong things in the wrong way (usually too quickly without chewing).

Bacterial imbalance-where your gut doesn't have the proper balance of 'good' bacteria.
Stress-so stressed that your whole body is thrown out of balance and has other things to worry about than digesting your food properly.

If you're urgently looking for bloating relief, think about whether any of these reasons might apply to you.
