Bloating

Symptom

Bloating, or swelling in the abdomen due to water retention, can easily happen after a large, salty meal (like when you’re hyped for #TacoTuesday that you way overdo it!) Maybe drop the “not that we’ve been there or anything.” If you have a chronic illness, though, bloating can happen on lots of other occasions, too. It’s no fun to have a bad feeling in your gut (literally), and not just because your jeans feel far too tight. Bloating can be a sign of functional GI issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, or even biotoxin exposure. If you find yourself dealing with bloating regularly, it's a good idea to check in with a practitioner who can help you figure out what's going on. Meanwhile, there's a lot you can do to help beat the discomfort. Potential treatments to explore include probiotics, elimination diets, binders (like Bentonite clay), digestive enzymes, bitters, or even a soothing cup of peppermint tea.

does anybody know what it means if you get bloated after eating just about anything. no matter if it’s small meals or big meals. I’ve been vegan for about a year now and I notice whenever I eat legumes, mushrooms, garlic, onions, potatoes and certain fruits I get bloated after and I hate it. it’s frustrating cause I feel like the antibiotics I’ve took a year ago messed up my digestive tract or something cause I never had this problem before it idk, any advice what i should do?

how can someone understand their body’s limits with dairy? sometimes ice cream can make me feel bloated, but most of the time it’s okay. today i had banana pudding, though, and my stomach did not agree with it 🙃. i don’t think i’m lactose intolerant but sometimes my body is randomly sensitive to dairy. any advice or experience with this?

does anybody have any remedies on how to get rid of bloated stomach that stays the whole day. after every time I eat I get really bloated and I can’t eat the rest of the day

what is everyone’s best tip for SIBO? i feel like i’ve done it all but still struggling with horrible bloating!

Losing all hope here but, I have intense inflammation in my gut every moment of the day. When I wake up I feel as if I ate a feast when in reality I didn’t eat much because I’m so afraid to upset my stomach more. I have bloating, stomach distention, gas, Anemia, rashes on my head, anxiety, light headed ness, and chronic constipation.

I have been on this journey of trying to get rid of heart palpitations and now a couple months ago I got this bloating problem where my stomach looks like it’s pregnant and it hurts to even move which triggers my palpitations as well sometimes. I went to doctors before but tbh I’m afraid to go see one now because of the medication reactions and what’s going on in the world rn with this pandemic.. I lost at what to do rn.. 😔
