Bloating isn’t a diagnosis, it’s a clue 🔍
For some people, it shows up after meals.
For others, it builds throughout the day or appears alongside fatigue, irregular bowels or hormonal changes.
While it’s tempting to blame a single food, bloating is often driven by something deeper.
This could include ⬇️
〜 Undereating, which can slow digestion and reduce gut motility.
〜 Chronic stress can shift the nervous system into “fight or flight”, diverting energy away from digestion.
〜 SIBO and dysbiosis are involved in imbalances in gut bacteria that ferment food too early. Constipation can cause gas and pressure to build.
〜 Low stomach acid affects protein breakdown and nutrient absorption.
〜 Food intolerances and hormonal patterns can further influence how the gut moves, reacts and responds.
When the root cause isn’t identified, people often end up chasing symptoms, cutting out more foods, trying random supplements, or cycling through short-term fixes that don’t last.
