Bloating can be uncomfortable and frustrating. Here are some simple ways to keep your digestion on track this season:
- Eat slowly and chew thoroughly
- Avoid carbonated drinks
- Identify food triggers like dairy or artificial sweeteners
- Stay hydrated and get moving

If bloating is persistent, it may be time to check in with a GI specialist. We’re here to help. Learn more about bloating from our website at ‘The Joys of Bloating’.

Ever felt super tired after eating a big meal? It’s not just in your head. The reasons include:
- Blood flow shifts to your digestive system, slowing oxygen to the brain
- Tryptophan in turkey and dairy can promote relaxation
- High-carb meals spike blood sugar, leading to an energy crash

If post-meal fatigue is frequent, it could indicate blood sugar imbalances or slow digestion. If this sounds familiar, Gastro Florida can help assess the cause. Contact us today to schedule an evaluation and take the next step toward better digestive health.

The truth: Your liver and kidneys naturally detox your body—no special drinks required. Many detox teas:
- Contain laxatives that can cause dehydration
- May disrupt gut bacteria
- Can lead to electrolyte imbalances

Feeling sluggish? The best way to support your body is through hydration, fiber, and balanced nutrition. If digestion isn’t running smoothly, a GI specialist can help.

Our Gastro Florida team had a wonderful time participating in this year’s Tampa Bay Take Steps Walk in support of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we helped raise over $76,000! We are proud to serve as co-sponsors of this meaningful event and honored to walk alongside such a passionate group of supporters advocating for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Reminder: Our IBD Support Group meets at the Gastro Florida Corporate Office on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Hosted by patient advocate Eugene, it’s a great opportunity for patients and caregivers to connect, share, and support one another.

Most people associate acid reflux with heartburn, but silent reflux (LPR - laryngopharyngeal reflux) can present without the usual symptoms. Instead, it may cause:
- Chronic cough or throat clearing
- Hoarseness or voice changes
- Postnasal drip or a lump sensation in the throat
- Difficulty swallowing

Unlike traditional GERD, LPR affects the upper airway and throat, making it harder to diagnose. If you’re experiencing persistent throat irritation or voice changes, an evaluation with a GI specialist can provide answers.
