[ 10 Hidden Causes of Bloated Stomach ]
โก๏ธ Digestive Disorders
Your bloated stomach could occur as a result of various digestive disorders. People suffering from IBS, celiac disease, and ulcerative colitis are more likely to experience gas, bloating, distension and other distressing symptoms.
According to some reports, 23-96% of people who suffer from IBS have bloating, 56% of those with chronic constipation and 50% of people with functional dyspepsia experience bloating as well.
โก๏ธ Fluid Retention (Called Edema or Ascites)
Bodily fluids can build up around the body, especially near the abdomen or pelvis area. This can cause temporary weight gain and excess bloating. In a case of fluid retention, your jewelry will not fight like it used to.
This fluid retention can also indicate a serious underlying condition, including liver disease, an abdominal infection, or even cancer.
So, it is very important to check for other symptoms of hepatitis or liver failure, including pain in the abdomen, changes in the white color of your eyes, and yellowing of the skin.
Other symptoms of stomach cancer include nausea, indigestion, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, and blood in vomit.
โก๏ธ Dehydration
After consuming a lot of salty foods or alcohol, you are more likely to experience a bloated stomach. When you are dehydrated, your body holds onto the water it does have. This causes bloating.
People who donโt drink enough water are more likely to experience constipation. So, make sure to limit the consumption of alcohol and salty foods and drink plenty of water.
โก๏ธ Constipation
This is the most common reason when it comes to bloated stomach. It could indicate that stool is backed up in the intestines, which in turn leaves you with a gas, discomfort, and hard-feeling gut.
In a case of constipation, make sure to add more fiber into your diet. Also, it is very important to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and drink plenty of water.
โก๏ธ Food Allergies or Sensitivities
Hidden food allergies, intolerances or sensitivities can cause a bloated stomach as well.
The most common triggers include foods that contain gluten, dairy products and carbohydrates called FODMAPs. To find out what is making you bloated, you should try an elimination diet.
