Our #1 Digestive Complaint - Bloating

Abdominal bloating is SO common, and you don't even need to have an underlying gut condition to get bloated.

Now, if your bloating occurs after every meal, or even when you first wake up in the morning, and it's accompanied by other symptoms, there's probably something else going on in your gut that needs to be addressed.
​
​Here are some common reasons why you could be bloated and some steps you can take to reduce it and see if you need to address something deeper going on in your gut.

What Can Cause Bloating

First off its a good reminder that the fact that we eat food and have abdominal organs could alone be the reason bloating occurs.  It's not normal to have a completely flat abdomen all day long while you're nourishing yourself properly with enough calories to sustain good health. 

A Few Daily Reasons Bloating Can Occur - If you notice that you get bloated after eating make sure you double down on these factors before jumping to any health conclusions.
  • Eating too fast
  • Eating too much
  • Consuming a lot of sodium
  • Sparkling and bubbly beverages
  • Menstruation 
  • Eating a high load of carbs
But if you've crossed all those off your list and are still bloated, here are some other health-related reasons for bloating you can dive deeper into:
  • Lactose intolerance
  • Constipation 
  • Low stomach acid
  • Gut bacteria imbalance
  •  Food sensitivity

The only REAL way to know if any of those factors are true for you is to work with a practitioner for educated insight and testing. (Pssst - Dr. Bezjak specializes in this!)

Easy Steps to Reduce Bloating

​
  • Eliminate bloat triggers
  • Dial in your good eating habits
  • Determine what foods you're sensitive to
  • Address underlying gut infections or microbiome imbalances
