Is Your Bloating Hormonal or Digestive?
Hormonal Bloating
🔸 Happens around ovulation or before your period
🔸 Comes with mood swings, cravings, or breast tenderness
🔸 Water retention & puffiness (not just belly bloating)
🔸 Worsens with stress or poor sleep
Digestive Bloating
🔹 Happens after eating (especially certain foods)
🔹 Comes with gas, burping, or irregular bowel movements
🔹 Improves or worsens with certain foods
🔹 Could be linked to food intolerances, gut bacteria imbalance, or sluggish digestion.
How to Fix Hormonal Bloating 👇🏼
✔ Support liver detox – Your liver helps clear excess estrogen. Eat cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower) & drink lemon water.
✔ Balance blood sugar – Avoid sugar spikes by prioritising protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
✔ Reduce stress – High cortisol worsens bloating. Try breathwork, gentle movement, or magnesium.
✔ Track your cycle – Spotting patterns helps you make proactive changes.
How to Fix Digestive Bloating
✔ Identify trigger foods – Gluten, dairy, and high-FODMAP foods are common culprits. Keep a food journal.
✔ Support digestion – Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and consider digestive enzymes.
✔ Balance gut bacteria – Include fermented foods and a quality probiotic.
✔ Hydrate & move – Drinking water + gentle movement aids digestion.
